Objectives: This study was performed to analyze the domestic study trends on abnormal uterine bleeding treated with Korean medicine.
Methods: We searched the studies of abnormal uterine bleeding treated with Korean medicine via searching four Korean web databases. After that, we analyzed 15 studies which were selected according to the selection and exclusion criteria.
Results: All 15 selected studies were case reports, and the total number of patients included was 33. Herbal medicine was used in all patients, and Igwiseungyang-tang-gami and Jeonsaenghwalhyol-tang-gami were the most commonly used. Other Korean medicine treatment such as acupuncture and moxibustion were performed. Acupuncture point most frequently used in acupuncture treatment were 三陰交 (SP6), 太衝 (LR3), 合谷 (LI4), and in moxibustion treatment were 關元 (CV4), 中脘 (CV12), 氣海 (CV6). In all studies, uterine bleeding was reduced after treatment.
Conclusions: This study shows that Korean medicine could be helpful in treating abnormal uterine bleeding. In order to increase the basis for clinical use in the future, high quality of additional studies should be conducted.
