In order to analyze and examine the TVCDS images of infertile patients, this paper conducted an in-depth study based on the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome. Through the sample size estimation method, mathematical analysis, and other methods, the image examination of the polycystic ovary in TVCDS was successfully analyzed. 86 cases of infertile patients with PCS were divided into a control group treated with clomiphene alone and an observation group treated with clomiphene combined with TCM periodic therapy, with 43 patients in each group. The therapeutic effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results show that the treatment effective rate and pregnancy success rate of the observation group were 95.35% and 88.37%, respectively, and those of the control group were 83.72% and 76.74%, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant P < 0.05 . It was understood that the main pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome is the abnormal balance of kidney, qi, and blood meridians. Thus, the balance of kidney-anemone-chong Ren-uprisal is broken and the result is infertility symptoms or irregular menstruation. After a study on TVCDS in infertile patients, it was observed that the levels of progesterone (P) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in patients with irregular menstruation were significantly increased. The increase was higher than that in the control group, with an overall negative rate of 4.00%, compared with 18.00% of the control group, showing a significant difference. It also indicates that TVCDS image examination has a very significant effect on improving menstrual irregularities and reducing the incidence of adverse reactions.

“…However, as yoga is considered a mind-body therapy that incorporates aspects of meditation, it may provide additional benefits beyond those gained through other forms of exercise [ 256 ]. While one systematic review (16 observational and experimental studies, n =365 women with PCOS) reported yoga may provide a range of psychological, reproductive and metabolic benefits, no meta-analysis was performed and a limited summary of included studies made it difficult to confirm findings [ 257 ]. A more recent systematic review (11 experimental studies) included a meta-analysis of two RCTs and found that yoga significantly decreased clinical hyperandrogenism, menstrual irregularity and fasting glucose and insulin [ 258 ].…”

Lifestyle management in polycystic ovary syndrome – beyond diet and physical activity

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition affecting reproductive-aged women with reproductive, metabolic and psychological consequences. Weight and lifestyle (diet, physical activity and behavioural) management are first-line therapy in international evidence-based guidelines for PCOS. While these recommend following population-level diet and physical activity guidelines, there is ongoing interest and research in the potential benefit of including psychological and sleep interventions, as well as a range of traditional, complimentary and integrative medicine (TCIM) approaches, for optimal management of PCOS. There is limited evidence to recommend a specific diet composition for PCOS with approaches including modifying protein, carbohydrate or fat quality or quantity generally having similar effects on the presentations of PCOS. With regards to physical activity, promising evidence supports the provision of vigorous aerobic exercise, which has been shown to improve body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness and insulin resistance. Psychological and sleep interventions are also important considerations, with women displaying poor emotional wellbeing and higher rates of clinical and subclinical sleep disturbance, potentially limiting their ability to make positive lifestyle change. While optimising sleep and emotional wellbeing may aid symptom management in PCOS, research exploring the efficacy of clinical interventions is lacking. Uptake of TCIM approaches, in particular supplement and herbal medicine use, by women with PCOS is growing. However, there is currently insufficient evidence to support integration into routine clinical practice. Research investigating inositol supplementation have produced the most promising findings, showing improved metabolic profiles and reduced hyperandrogenism. Findings for other supplements, herbal medicines, acupuncture and yoga is so far inconsistent, and to reduce heterogeneity more research in specific PCOS populations, (e.g. defined age and BMI ranges) and consistent approaches to intervention delivery, duration and comparators are needed. While there are a range of lifestyle components in addition to population-recommendations for diet and physical activity of potential benefit in PCOS, robust clinical trials are warranted to expand the relatively limited evidence-base regarding holistic lifestyle management. With consumer interest in holistic healthcare rising, healthcare providers will be required to broaden their knowledge pertaining to how these therapies can be safely and appropriately utilised as adjuncts to conventional medical management.

Hormonyoga – Wellness oder ernst zu nehmende Therapie?

ZusammenfassungHormonyoga ist eine moderne, sehr anspruchsvolle und intensive Form der Yogapraxis, die von Dinah Rodrigues entwickelt wurde, um Frauen mit menopausalen oder anderen gynäkologischen Störungen zu behandeln. Zu Yoga in der Therapie von post- und perimenopausalen Beschwerden, zu Menstruationsstörungen und anderen gynäkologischen Leiden gibt es bislang einzelne wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen, die insgesamt eine Wirksamkeit von Yoga in diesem Bereich nahelegen, aber nicht hinreichend belegen können. Zur Frage der hormonellen Veränderung liegen derzeit nur einzelne Fallberichte vor. Auch fehlt eine wissenschaftliche Evaluation eines Mehrgewinns des Hormonyoga zu anderen Formen des Yoga. Dennoch ist Yoga per se im Management gynäkologischer Störungen empfehlenswert, gut umsetzbar und ohne bekannte Nebenwirkungen. Die Form des Hormonyoga nach Rodrigues kann aus vedischer Sicht als Intensivierung und Fokussierung der Yogapraxis angesehen werden, sodass eine verstärkte Wirkung durchaus nachvollziehbar wäre. Weitere Studien hierzu sind unbedingt wünschenswert.
