This review article examines the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine external therapies for endometriosis characterized by cold-congealed blood stasis. It highlights three primary modalities: acupuncture techniques such as electroacupuncture and acupoint catgut embedding to regulate neuroendocrine function; moxibustion methods like ginger-separated moxa and heat-sensitive moxibustion to reduce inflammatory markers such as PGE2 and VEGF; and herbal enemas that deliver high-concentration drugs directly to the pelvic cavity via rectal absorption. The authors note that these external treatments are frequently combined with Western medications or internal herbal administration to enhance clinical outcomes and minimize potential hepatotoxicity associated with systemic drug use. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically focusing on the application of external traditional Chinese medicine treatments for the cold-congealed blood stasis subtype.
