Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship of the five-circuit and six-qi features and seasonal rhythm of the birth date of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)with the postnatal incidence of PCOS.Methods Clinical data collection was carried out in 321 PCOS patients who attended the outpatient clinic of Second Department of Reproductive Medicine,the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from March 2016 to March 2023,and then the five-circuit and six-qi features and seasonal rhythm of the birth date of PCOS patients were statistically analyzed.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the seasonal distribution of the birth date and in the distribution of five-circuit and six-qi indicators of guest circuit,predominant qi,guest qi,sitian(celestial control,circuit qi of the first half of a year),and zaiquan(terrestrial effect,circuit qi of the second half of a year)of the 321 patients with PCOS(P＞0.05),where there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of five-circuit and six-qi indicators of heavenly stems,yearly circuit,and predominant circuit(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Birth year of ji(the 6th of the ten heavenly stems)year was predominated in the heavenly stems,and the patients accounted for 13.1%(42/321);the deficient earth circuit was predominated in the yearly circuit,and the patients accounted for 13.1%(42/321);the deficient water circuit was predominated in the predominant circuit,and the patients accounted for 15.9%(51/321).Conclusion No significant correlation exists between the incidence of PCOS and seasonal rhythm of birth date of the patients.However,the incidence of PCOS is correlated with the five-circuit and six-qi indicators of heavenly stems,yearly circuit,and predominant circuit,and a higher likelihood of suffering from PCOS occurs in the population born in the heavenly-stem ji year,in the yearly circuit being deficient earth circuit,in the predominant circuit being deficient water circuit.
