Distribution of Chinese Medical Syndromes and Related Factors of Endometriosis

Objective To explore the distribution of Chinese medical syndromes and related factors of endometriosis.Methods 152 cases of endometriosis were classified by syndrome differentiation.Ages,disease condition,abortion times and their influences on Chinese medical syndromes were analyzed.Results 152 cases of endometriosis were classified into four syndromes,including qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome(43.4%),kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome(27.1%),damp-heat and blood stasis syndrome(16.4%),and cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome(13.1%).The highest frequency of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome occurred in the age groups of 22 to 28,29 to 35,36 to 42(P0.05).Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome was dominant in mild disease and non-abortion cases,and kidney deficiency and blood stasis occurred primarily in severe disease and those who had aborted for more than three times(P0.05).Conclusion The occurrence frequency of Chinese medical syndromes ranks decreasingly from qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,kidney deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,damp-heat and blood stasis syndrome to cold coagulation and blood stasis syndrome.And the distribution of the syndromes relates to the factors such as age,disease severity,and abortion times.
