针刺治疗多囊卵巢综合征的临床应用

Clinical Application of Acupuncture in Treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

多囊卵巢综合征(PCOS)是女性常见的内分泌紊乱性疾病之一。现代医学中,PCOS的治疗主要以运动、饮食、口服药物为主。针刺是传统医学的重要组成部分,主要通过刺激特定腧穴,达到疏通经络、调节气血的功效。针刺单独使用或者联合西药,能够通过调气活血等方式更好地减轻PCOS患者的体质量,缓解胰岛素抵抗,改善机体内分泌水平,提高排卵率和妊娠率等。但是,目前对针刺治疗PCOS 的方法还缺乏统一的标准,结果也存在争议。因此,如何规范化针刺对PCOS的治疗是目前需要思考的问题。

Polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders in women.In modern medicine,PCOS is mainly treated by exercise,diet and oral medicine.Acupuncture is an important part of traditional medicine,which can dredge meridians and regulate qi and blood by stimulating specific acupoints.Acupuncture can better reduce the body weight of PCOS patients when applied alone or combined with western medicine,alleviate insulin resistance, improve endocrine level,and improve ovulation rate and pregnancy rate by regulating qi and promoting blood circulation.However,there is still no uniform standard for the treatment of PCOS by acupuncture,and the results are still controversial.Therefore,how to standardize the treatment of PCOS by acupuncture needs to be considered.
