[Sex hormone level of malnourished vulvae treated with traditional Chinese medicine].
This paper intend to introduce the therapeutic method of combining TCM and WM as well as the laboratory study to 91 patients with malnourished vulvae. The results showed that the concentration of the luteinizing hormone (LH) in the patients' serum was evidently lower than that in the control group (P less than 0.01). The concentration of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) was evidently higher than that of the control group (P less than 0.01). The serum LH of the patients in cured group tended to be higher, and approximated to normal level (P greater than 0.05); the concentration of FSH got lower, and reached to normal level (P less than 0.05). The estradiol (E2) levels in the serum during the ovulation period and follicular period were obviously lower than that in the control group (P less than 0.01; P less than 0.05). The progesterone (P) level during the ovulation period was lower than that in the control group (P less than 0.05). The kraurosis index of the cast-off cells from the labium minus of the vagina in the test group was lower than that in the control group, but it was obviously higher in the cured group, and approximated to normal control group.
