Exploration on the Role and Mechanism of Chronic Inflammation on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Blood-Water Homoeopathy in Chinese Medicine

Abstract

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as a common gynaecological disease, has a variety of clinical manifestations and a lingering course. Modern medicine believes that chronic low-grade inflammation is involved in the development of PCOS, and the abnormal coagulation/fibrinolytic function of PCOS patients will aggravate and prolong the development of the disease. Chinese medicine believes that the basic pathogenesis of this disease lies in kidney deficiency, with qi, phlegm, and stasis as pathological products, which is the same as the pathogenesis analysed by modern medicine, and corresponds to the idea of treating blood and water together. Therefore, it is of great significance to summarize and elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of PCOS in both Chinese and Western medicine, and combine it with the theory of "if the blood is not favourable, then the water will be water" for the development of subsequent related research and clinical treatment. Therefore, summarising and elucidating the pathomechanisms of PCOS in Chinese and Western medicine, combined with the theory of "if the blood is not favourable, then the water will become water", is of great significance to the subsequent research and development of clinical treatment.
