Abstract:
The paper introduces Professor ZHAO Hong's clinical experience and the thinking of diagnosis and treatment for gynecological diseases based on spleen-stomach theories of TCM and explore the effects of the dysfunction of spleen and stomach on gynecological diseases. In clinical practice, Professor ZHAO proposes the "theory" for protecting the spleen and stomach, and in consideration of the other organs; focuses on the "principle" for strengthening the spleen, harmonizing the stomach, promoting qi circulation, removing stagnation and mutually-regulating the body, qi and mind; and adopts the "methods" of integrating acupuncture with medication and specially uses the warming and resolving techniques. She attaches importance to "acupoints" on the detection, and the selection of fewer but more effective ones; and delivers the "needling techniques" for releasing the stagnation and obstruction and inducing muscle jumping and sensation transmission. Professor ZHAO Hong integrates acupuncture with medication in views of spleen and stomach theories of TCM for ovarian insufficiency, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, thin endometrium and dysfunctional uterine bleeding, which provides the references for the treatment of gynecological diseases.
