RESUMEN
【Objective】To observe the therapeutic effect of laparoscopic ovarian electrocauterization(LOE) combined with cycle treatment of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM-CT) for type phlegm-damp refractory polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).【Methods】Forty PCOS patients admitted from August,2004 to March,2006 were randomized into groups A,B and C.Group A(N=20) received LOE and TCM-CT,group B(N=10) received LOE and western medicine for ovulation,and group C received LOE only.The endocrine hormones levels,ovulation rate and pregnancy rate were observed.【Results】The differences of serum luteinizing hormone(LH) and testosterone(T) levels before and after treatment were significant in group A(P0.05).After treatment,LH and T levels in group A differed from those in groups B and C(P0.05).The pregnancy rate in group A differed from those in groups B and C(P0.05).【Conclusion】LOE combined with cycle treatment of traditional Chinese medicine exerts a certain effect on improving reproductive health of patients with type phlegm-damp refractory polycystic ovary syndrome.
