Tri-combination therapy of traditional Chinese medicine combined with laparoscopy in the treatment of tubal infertility

Abstract:

Objective：To investigate the curative effect of tri-combination therapy of traditional Chinese medicine cooperated with la－paroscopy on the treatment of tubal infertility. Methods：One hundred and fifty-nine patients who were diagnosed as tubal infertility in our hospital were randomly divided into control group（n=79） and observation group（n=80）. The patients in control group received pelvic adhesion separation and tubal dredge operation in the operative laparoscopy only，while patients in the observation group re－ceived this operation and after that，they were treated with tri-combination therapy of Chinese traditional medicine（oral medicine，enema，direct current（dc） drug iontophoresis） for 3 months continuously. After following-up for 6 months，the traditional Chinese medicine symptom score，the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score，the degree of fallopian tube patency，and the rate of preg－nancy after treatment were all recorded. The Chi-Square test was used to evaluate the difference of curative effect between this two group. Results：Witha significant difference（P<0.05），traditional Chinese medicine symptom efficacy of observation group（97.50%）was superior to that of control group（81.01%），traditional Chinese medicine syndrome efficacy of observation group（95.00%） was superior to that of control group（78.50%），as well as the degree of fallopian tube patency between observation group（83.75%） and control group（65.82%）. Besides，there was also a significant difference（P<0.05） betweenobservation group（62.50％） and control group（41.77%） in the rate of pregnancy. Clinical efficacy rate of observation group（96.25%） was higher than that of control group（83.54%）（P<0.05）. Conclusion：Tri-combination therapy of Chinese traditional medicine cooperated with laparoscopy have a good clinical curative effect on the treatment of tubal infertility through improving the traditional Chinese medicine symptom score，the tra－ditional Chinese medicine syndrome score，the degree of fallopi－an tube patency，and the rate of pregnancy. It is worthy to be applied widely.
