Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives:Since early developed measurement of Postpartum depression(PPD) doesn’t reflect physical symptoms, we need to find out how PPD and related physical disorders are expressed in functional medical methods. The study was conducted to find out characteristics of 7 Zone diagnosis and postpartum physical symptoms on PPD.
Methods:To 216 postpartum women who did normal delivery, we measured 7-zone-diagnosis Factor AA’s height on 5th day and 15th day postpartum. And we surveyed EPDS and postpartum physical symptoms question on 15th day postpartum. Subjects were divided into normal and depression group by EPDS score. And we compared Factor AA’s height between two groups and Factor AA’s height change in each group.
Results:In depression group, Factor AA’s height was higher than normal group on 5th day and 15th day postpartum. In both groups Factor AA’s height was decreased on 15th day compared to 5th day postpartum. In normal group 2, 6, 7 zone were significantly decreased and in depression group only 6 zone was significantly decreased.
Conclusions:These results demonstrate that postpartum depression group has low recuperative power. And these can be judged by Factor AA’s height change.
