title: [Clinical observations on treatment of endometriosis by tonifying kidney and removing blood stasis].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the mechanism of treating endometriosis by tonifying Kidney and removing blood stasis with Neiyixiao Recipe (NYXR).
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and three patients of endometriosis were divided randomly into the NYXR group (58 cases, treated with NYXR) and the control group (45 cases, treated with danazol) and were reviewed for the improvement of clinical symptoms, serum level of FSH, LH, PRL, E2, P and T, humoral and cellular immunity (C3, C4, CD3, CD4, CD8), and plasma prostaglandin after treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  There was no significant difference in effect between the NYXR group and the control group in relief of dysmenorrhea and degradation of elevated plasma prostaglandin (chi 2 = 0.71, P > 0.05). But there was significant difference between the two groups in curing infertility (chi 2 = 14.77, P < 0.01), and the effect of NYXR in regulating endocrine and immunity was significantly better than that of danazol.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  By tonifying Kidney and removing blood stasis, NYXR is multi-effective and being one of effective methods in clinical practice for treatment of endometriosis.
