[Observation on therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on disorders of myometrial gland]
Abstract
Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on disorders of myometrial gland and the mechanism.
Methods: Sixty-six cases were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medication group, 33 cases in each group. The acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at Zhongji (CV 3), Shuidao (ST 28), Tainshu (ST 25), Qugu (CV 2), Zigong (EX-CA 1) as main; the medication group were treated with oral administration of Danazol. Changes of estradiol (E2) level, hemoglobin (Hb) and blood platelet counter (BPC) were observed in the acupuncture group, and the therapeutic effects of the two group were compared.
Results: The total effective rate was 97.0% in the acupuncture group and 72.7% in the medication group, the former being better than the latter (P<0.05). After treatment, E2 level decreased and Hb and BPC increased in the acupuncture group.
Conclusion: Acupuncture has obvious therapeutic effect, which is better than that of simple western medicine. Acupuncture can decrease E2 level.
