Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose : Hysterectomy is the most common gynecologic operation in women. Recent research has been directed towards understanding the symptoms after hysterectomy. But the study for treating them was rarely investigated. The purpose of this study was to report a case associated with treatment of the post-hysterectomy syndrome.
Methods : A 52-year-old woman, who suffered from headache, dizziness, indigestion, lumbargo, insomnia, hyposthenia et al after total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), was enrolled in this study. She received oriental treatments such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and dry cupping therapy for 8 days.
Results : The symptoms after hysterectomy were markedly reduced by oriental treatments.
Conclusion : The present study suggests that oriental treatments have a significant effect on the post-hysterectomy syndrome.
