title: [Clinical observation on effect of xuejie jiawei decoction on vaginal hemorrhagic amount and duration in patients after drug-abortion].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the effect of Xuejie Jiawei Decoction (XJJWD) in reducing vaginal hemorrhagic amount, shortening hemorrhagic duration and lowering the curettage rate of incomplete abortion in patients after drug-abortion.
  
  
  METHODS
  Group A was treated with XJJWD No. I from the 2nd day after abortion, one dose per day for 7 days. Group B was treated with XJJWD No. II from the 11th day after abortion, one dose per day for 5 days. The therapeutic effect of the two groups was compared with that of the untreated control group.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In the Group A, the total score on vaginal hemorrhagic amount was markedly less than that in the control group (P < 0.01), and the vaginal hemorrhagic duration in patients with menostasis less than 45 days was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.01). In the Group B, the total score on vaginal hemorrhagic amount in patients with menostasis less than 45 days was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  XJJWD could reduce the vaginal hemorrhagic amount and duration in patients after drug-abortion. It should be applied early after abortion, the less the duration of menostasis, the more effective the treatment.
