title: [Influence of artificial cycles induced by traditional Chinese medicine on the releasing and reserving gonadotropic hormone function of the pituitary gland in the female with secondary amenorrhea].
abstract: Thirty-one patients with secondary amenorrhea, who were grouped, were treated with artificial cycle of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine. The excitement test for LRH-A of pituitary gland was made pre- and post-treatment respectively. It was suggested that artificial cycle of TCM played positive feedback role in GnH of patients with hypothalamus amenorrhea but negative feedback role in GnH of patients with ovarian semilism, and adjustment role in LH/FSH ratio of patients with PCOS. The results of this study provided scientific basis for clinical application of artificial cycle by TCM.
