Abstract:
This study was aimed to explore the clinical mechanism of combined acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and to evaluate its clinical curative effect.A total of 100 PCOS patients were randomly divided into three groups,which were group A,B and C,with 50 cases in each group.Group A was treated with ethinyl estradiol and clomiphene.Group B was treated with TCM.Group C was treated with acupuncture combined with TCM.One menstrual cycle was counted as one treatment course.There were a total of 6 treatment courses.Observation was given on menstrual condition of the patient,basal body temperature (BBT),level of sex hormones,ovulation and follicular before and after treatment.The results showed that the total effective rate of group C was 82％,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The normal rate of menstruation recovery of group C was 100％,which was significantly higher than those of group A and B (P ＜ 0.05).After treatment,the biphasic rate of BBT in group C was 70％,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The basal FSH (14.6±2.9) IU/L and basal E2 (53.2± 12.4) pg/ml of group C were significantly higher than those of group A and B.The basal LH (25.4±5.8) IU/L,T (1.0±0.2) μg/L of group C were significantly lower than those of group A and B (P ＜ 0.05),with statistical significance.It was concluded that acupuncture combined with TCM can be used in the treatment of PCOS by regulating menstruation,adjusting BBT,the level of sex hormone,and promoting ovulation.
