TCM treatment of adolescent functional uterine hemorrhage--a clinical report of 105 cases.

Abstract

105 cases of adolescent functional uterine hemorrhage were refractory to western medicine, but successfully cured with Chinese herbal drugs during the period from April 1982 to July 1986. At the bleeding stage of the disease, the Triple Action Hemostatic Decoction [( symbol: see text]) was used, and at the re-adjusting stage when bleeding stopped, the Decoction for Strengthening Kidney and Reinforcing the Constitution [( symbol: see text]) was given. The rate of complete cure was 13.3%, of marked improvement 76.2%, of some improvement 8.6%, with a total effective rate of 98.1%. The author also discussed the etiological mechanism of the disease and the theory that guided him in designing the prescription in the light of TCM.
