[Treatment of secondary amenorrhea and oligohypomenorrhea with combined traditional Chinese and Western medicine].

This article reported the treatment of 149 cases (1087 cycles) with secondary amenorrhea and oligohypomenorrhea, including 42 cases who were treated by cycle treatment with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and clomiphene in comparison with clomiphene in 67 cases and/or TCM in 40 cases at the same time. The results showed that ovulatory rate of secondary amenorrhea, calculated according to menstrual cycles, was significantly higher in the group of TCM and clomiphene than that of clomiphene or TCM (P less than 0.01). The efficacy of clomiphene was better than that of TCM (P less than 0.01). The ovulatory rate of oligohypomenorrhea was significantly increased by using TCM and clomiphene in contrast to only western medicine (P less than 0.05). The phenomena mentioned above indicate that the TCM-WM treatment has obvious advantages.
