Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine whether Sasang medical constitutional distributions of patients with uterine myoma are significantly different from those of healthy women in Korea.
Methods: The subjects for this study were 258 patients who were diagnosed with uterine myoma by ultrasonography and classed through a questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Classification II (QSCC II) among patients who entered Kyunghee Bogung oriental medical clinic from June 7th, 2011 to March 7th, 2012.
Results: 1. The average size of myoma of subjects was 5.16±2.48 and the average age was 37.1±7.2 years old. The
average age of menarche was 13.13±1.44 years old and average frequency of abortion was 0.65±1.07. There were
no significant differences by constitution in size of myoma, age, marital status, age of menarche, history of giving
birth or history of abortion. 2. The overall average BMI of all subjects in this study was 21.4. By constitution, average BMIs were 24.2±3.2, 20.5±2.0 and 20.2±2.2 for Taeumin, Soyangin and Soeumin, respectively. There was a significant difference by constitution. 3. Sasang medical constitutional distributions of subjects was as follows: Taeumin 28.3% (73 patients), Soyangin 35.7% (92 patients), Soeumin 36.0% (93 patients). When compared with those of healthy Korean adult females who did not have uterine myoma (44.4%, 14.8% and 40.9%, respectively), the proportion of Soyangin was significantly higher.
Conclusions: We found that Sasang medical constitutional distribution of subjects differs from those of healthy Korean women without uterine myoma and in particular, among Soyangin is significantly higher.
