title: [Treatment of ovarian cyst after ovulation-induction with sanjie zhentong capsule].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To observe the efficacy of Sanjie Zhentong Capsule (SJC) in treating ovarian cyst after ovulation-induction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-eight patients with ovarian cyst were randomly assigned to two groups, 33 in the treated group treated with SJC and 25 in the control group treated with temporization for 1 month. Changes of estradiol (E2), luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level as well as condition of cyst before and after treatment were observed and compared. And the time for complete disappearance (TCD) of cyst and the pregnant rate within 4 months were followed-up.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Effective rate (no fluid cyst sized over 1.0 cm could be found in bilateral ovary and E2 <280 pmol/L) in the treated group was 81.8% (27/33) and 52.0% (13/25) in the control group, showing significant difference between them (P <0.05). Level of E2 decreased in both groups, but the lowering was more significant in the treated group, after 1 month, it being 220.54 +/- 96.23 pmol/L vs 372.56 +/- 330.62 pmol/L (P <0.05). The changes of LH and FSH levels were of no statistical significance (P >0.05). TCD in the treated group was 1.18 +/- 0.46 months, which was shorter than that in the control group (1.96 +/- 1.34 months, P <0.05). The pregnant rate within 4 months in the two groups was 60.6% (20/ 33) and 32.0% (8/25) respectively, showing significant difference (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  SJC has good efficacy in treating ovarian cyst after ovulation-induction.
