Abstract
|
|
|
|
Hysterectomy can lead to various symptoms threatening decent quality of life. As the frequency of hysterectomy increases, there are many patients who want to take oriental medicine treatments for complications. Several clinical studies have reported the effectiveness of oriental medicine treatment for post-hysterectomy complications. Out of these symptoms, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV, hereafter) are indicated at about 20-40% of frequency within patients with general anesthesia, and they may occur not only during recovery from operation, but also after discharge. Although the incidence of PONV has decreased now thanks to the usage of antiemetics, PONV still causes some difficulties for patients returning to daily life. This study reports two cases of post-hysterectomy complications such as nausea, dizziness, vomiting, general weakness, and coldness of the limbs, which had good responses to herbal medication and acupuncture.
