Abstract

Abstract: A 53-year-old married woman who had an irregular menstrual cycle complained of vaginal spotting for three months. She also reported gaining weight. After a Pipelle biopsy revealed a hyperplastic polyp in her uterus, she was recommended to undergo total laparoscopic hysterectomy, along with an endometrial biopsy and a hysteroscopy beforehand. She had only a month left before her surgery when she came for treatment at the Gynecology clinic (Unani). Itrifal-e-Ghudadi and Majun-e-Dabidulward were prescribed 5 grams twice daily orally after meals, and Marham-e-Dakhiliyoon for local application on the lower abdomen daily in the morning. After about seven months of treatment, the patient's symptoms were completely resolved, and her transvaginal sonography was completely normal, even after more than 6 months devoid of treatment. Thus, she avoided undergoing a total laparoscopic hysterectomy and was able to keep her uterus intact. Hence, it can be concluded that the Unani system of medicine is advantageous in treating endometrial polyps.

Keywords: case report; endometrial biopsy; endometrial polyp; hysteroscopy; total laparoscopic hysterectomy; Unani system of medicine.

乌尼尼方治疗子宫内膜息肉1例。

摘要：一名53岁已婚女性，月经周期不规律，自诉阴道点滴3个月。她还报告说体重增加了。在管道活检显示她的子宫有增生性息肉后，医生建议她进行全腹腔镜子宫切除术，同时进行子宫内膜活检和宫腔镜检查。当她来到妇科诊所（Unani）接受治疗时，离手术只有一个月了。Itrifal-e-Ghudadi、Majun-e-Dabidulward每日2次，每次5克，饭后口服；Marham-e-Dakhiliyoon每日早晨局部涂抹于下腹。经过约7个月的治疗，患者症状完全消失，经阴道超声检查完全正常，即使在6个多月没有治疗的情况下。因此，她避免了腹腔镜全子宫切除术，并能保持她的子宫完整。因此，可以得出结论，Unani医学体系在治疗子宫内膜息肉方面具有优势。关键词：病例报告；子宫内膜活检;子宫内膜息肉;子宫镜检查;腹腔镜全子宫切除术；Unani医学系统。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
