Clinical observation on post-operative recovery treated by self-prescribed shuhou kangfu decoction in gynecologic patients

[Objective] To evaluate the effect of decoction of post-operation recovery in promoting body recovery after gynecologic operation. [Methods] One hundred cases underwent total or subtotal hysterectomy for uterine myoma or adenomyosis were randomly assigned to 2 groups. They received a same basic treatment. Fifty patients in the trial group were administrated basic treatment plus decoction of post-operation recovery 50 mL, twice a day, for 3 days. Another 50 patients in the control group were administrated with the same antibiotic as the one in basic treatment for 2 days, without giving Chinese medicine. The time of exsufflation and defecation, disease incidence of post-operation, and ratio of healed incision grade A were recorded. Hemoglobin, plasma fibrinogen and Ddipolymer were detected. [Results] The average time of exsufflation and defecation after operation in trial group was significantly earlier than that of control group (P0.05). There was a dramatically lower disease incidence of post-operation in trial group(10%) compared with 26% in control group(P 0.05). Hemoglobin in trial group was significantly higher than that of control group,(P0.05). Plasma fibrinogen and D-dipolymer in trial group was significantly lower than that of control group (P0.05). [Conclusion] Decoction of post-operation recovery can accelerate the intestinal peristalsis, reduce the disease incidence of post-operation, prevent infection from operation, avoid thrombogenesis. It can also raise hemoglobin quickly, decrease therapeutic course and dosage of antibiotic. So it was deserved to apply in Chinese medicine widely.
