摘要

Objective: To study the effectiveness of Yu's Neiyi Recipe on endometriosis.Methods: Yu's Neiyi Recipe was administrated in 48 patients with endometriosis (including 20 infertile cases). The clinical manifestations, ultrasonography, basal body temperature (BBT) and hormonal levels were observed before and 3 months after the treatment. The pregnancy outcome was followed up within 2 years.Results: Efficacy of Yu's Neiyi Recipe in the 48 cases was 93.75% within 3 months of treatment, 15 of the 20 infertile women become pregnant (80%) within 2 years. After the treatment, scores of dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain or dyspareunia, and the size of ovarian endometrioma obviously decreased (P<0.01, P<0.01, P<0.01), meanwhile, the BBT type and high phase score (HPS) significantly improved (P<0.05). During herbal treatment, serum high PRL levels significantly dropped (P<0.05), and serum LH and E2 levels elevated significantly (P<0.05).Conclusions: Yu's Neiyi Recipe not only relieves the symptoms and signs of patients with endometriosis significantly, but also shows a good regulation on patients' ovarian function to improve the rate of ovulation and pregnancy.
