Patient
had been diagnosed as Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) for 6 years, followed with
insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms.
Since
May 2018 she came clinic for acupuncture and herbal medicine treatment regularly until July . In August, she came back clinic not only solved the
insomnia and gastrointestinal problems but also brought this blessing result,
confirmed pregnant for 6 weeks already.
PCOS is
the most common female endocrine disease causing by complex endocrine and
metabolic abnormalities, shown as chronic ovulation disorders or loss, and high
androgens. In clinical manifestations, there are irregular menstruation cycle,
infertility, along with hairy or acne symptoms.
The
reasons of PCOS are still controversial as two dimensions, theory of heredity
or non-gene related. The modern therapeutic method is medicine and operation.
However,
in traditional Chinese medicine, we still use TCM diagnose system to customized
this patient’s treatment strategy. To minimize all the side effects or risks
that the modern medicine would cause to her, this patient chose acupuncture and
herbal medicine as her option.
Today we
are glad to see her follow up as steady as been 25 weeks, and will welcome this baby girl
