Abstract:
It is proposed that yangming (阳明) turbid heat and dysfunction of the chong and ren (冲任) vessels are the key pathogenesis underlying abnormal uterine bleeding caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The general principle of treatment is to clear and drain the yangming channel and resolve turbid heat. During the acute bleeding phase, the approach is to clear heat, cool the blood, consolidate the chong vessel, and stop bleeding. During the chronic phase, the focus shifts to resolving phlegm and removing stasis, unblocking and purging qi movement. And during the late stage, the method of boosting qi and nourishing yin, consolidating the root and regulating menstruation is suggested. In clinical practice, the self-formulated Yishen Quzhuo Formula (益肾祛浊方) serves as the foundation, with flexible modifications and adjustments made according to disease stage and individual clinical presentation.
