Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical effects of spleen-invigorating and kidney-tonifying method on polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) of phlegm-dampness type.Methods: Sixty patients with PCOS of phlegm-dampness type were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,with 30 cases in each group.The treatment group was treated by spleen-invigorating and kidney-tonifying method,and the control group was treated by phlegm-resolving and kidney-tonifying method,with a course of three months.The clinical effects and the improvement of menstrual cyclicity were evaluated,and the body mass index(BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio were observed.Results: The clinical effects and the improvement of menstrual cyclicity of treatment group were better than those of control group(P0.05,P0.01);after treatment,the BMI in treatment group was significantly decreased compared with before treatment and control group(P0.05).Conclusion: The spleen-invigorating and kidney-tonifying method has better effects on PCOS of phlegm-dampness type compared with phlegm-resolving and kidney-tonifying method.
