Purpose :To determine the efficiency of Gamisamultang on lactogenesis and serum prolactin level in the early puerperal period.
Methods :Participants were enrolled at the Postpartum care center of Conmaul Oriental Hospital. Participants were randomized into a sample group and a control group. 136 women participated in the study, 29 women discontinued participation in the study. In total there were 52 in the sample group, 55 in the control group. Both groups were administrated Gamisaenghwatang for 5 days, then sample group had Gamisamultang and control group had Boheotang, respectively, for 5 more days. Participants’ daily milk volume and lactation times were recorded on a provided table. Serum prolactin levels were measured in the 6th and 11th day of the trial.
Results : Gamisamultang was discovered to raise both the milk volume(68.93 74.60%) and serum prolactin level(27.80 162.70%) of the early puerperal period compared with Boheotang. Milik volume was significantly increased(P<0.05), while the serum prolactin level was not.
Conclusion :The present findings indicate that Gamisamultang is useful for increasing lactogenesis in the early puerperal period and may have a positive effect on breast-feeding practice.
