ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effect of modified Fu Qingzhu's Shenghua decoction on uterine involution after repeat cesarean section.Methods Randomized and parallel design was adopted in the study.A total of 112 cases were recruited into an observation group and a control group.56 cases in the observation group were treated with oral Fu Qingzhu's Shenghua decoction for 5 days,while 56 cases in control group were treated without any herbs.The follow-up was 42 days.Duration of lochia,hemoglobin concentration,and abnormalities of uterine ultrasound were observed.Results Duration of lochia rubra (5.1 ± 1.2 d vs.5.8 ± 1.3 d;t=-2.734,P=0.007) and the duration of lochia rubra and lochia serosa in the observation group 25.0 (21.0,29.8) d vs.29.0 (26.0,33.8) d;Z=3.873,P＜0.001) were all lower than the control group.The lochia complete ration in 42 days (94.9％ vs.82.1％,x2=4.264),the average hemoglobin concentration (115.43 ± 10.68 g/L vs.104.29 ± 9.90 g/L,F=4.159) and sum of the three uterine diameters (14.2 ± 1.0 cm vs.14.8 ± 1.3 cm,t=-2.686,P=0.008) in the observation group were all higher than the control group.The incidence of uterine cavity hydrops (3.57％ vs.17.85％,P=0.015) in the observation group was lower than the control group.Conclusion Fu Qingzhu's Shenghua decoction has promotive effects on uterine involution after repeat cesarean section.
