         Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovasular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cancer(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women. Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasing altered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).

In Traditional Chinese Perspective
While conventional medicine focus of using synthetic medication to induce ovulation and assisted artificial insemination for infertility couple, if the medicine fail, traditional Chinese medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome in different approaches. Polycystic ovary syndrome, according to traditional Chinese medicine is a medical condition characterized by accumulative of fluid over a prolonged period of time causes of dampness and phlegms(1247a)(1247b) build up on the ovaries due to the effects of vary differentiations, affecting not only the women’s menstrual cycle, but also ovulation and fertility(1247a)(1247b).

PCOs Treatment according traditional Chinese medicine
Depending to differentiation, most common diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome can be classified into

               Kidney yang deficiency

Along with common symptoms mentioned above, women with PCOs diagnosed with kidney yang deficiency may also experience yang vacuity induced cold expressive syndrome, including lumbago, cold limbs, fatigue, cold aversion, feverish sensation in chest, palms and soles(1573), difficulty in urination, enuresis, incontinence, declining libido and edema(1574) as a result of kidneys no longer perform their function in store fluid to moister and warm the body for healthy function in the body's organs and tissues, inducing adrenal insufficient chronic lower back pain(1575)(1580), depression(1575), hypothyroidism(1579)(1575), nephritis(1578)(1575), ...(1575), leading to failure in transform damp heat expression, promoted accentuation of inflammatory development of phlegm(1583). Kidney yang deficiency has shown to alter carbohydrate and lipid metabolisms (free fatty acids, 1-monolinoleoylglycerol, and cholesterol), gut microbiota metabolism (indole-3-propionic acid), indued anovulatory infertility( 1581) and hypertension(1582) of which related to symptoms of PCOs(1576)(1577).

Herbal medicine for kidney yang deficiency


3. Rehmannia glutinosa Liboschitz var. purpurae(Di Huang)
Di huang can be sheng (raw) or Shu (cooked) and is also known as Rehmannia

 Sheng di huang(The bitter, sweet, bitter cold in nature) and Shu di huang (The bitter, sweet, bitter and warm in nature)(1724) has been used in TCM as diuretic(1734), anti hyperglycemicagent(1726), anti cancers(1731)(1732) and to treat cough(1743), asthma(1744)(1746), lung inflammation induced shortness of breath(1745), and wheezing(1746), tinnitus(1747) and hearing loss(17447), poor memory(1741), bronchial contraction)1746), and chest tightness(1746), lower plasma glucose(1725)(1727), enhance heart function(1734)(1735) (small doses constrict the blood vessels and large doses dilate the blood vessel)(1724), and regulate steroid hormone(1736),..... by promoting the functions of heart, kidney, and liver channels(1724).

Epidemiological studies proposed that rehmannia also displays anti metabolic syndrome(1728), including fatigue(1728), prediabetes(1728)(1737), LDL-C, hypertension(1729), lipid profile(1728)(1737), including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C)(1736)(1737), insulin resistance(1730), waist size(1736) and obesity(1742), through its effects in carbohydrate(1740)(1741) and lipid metabolism(1728) of which reduce risk of diabetes(1728)(1739) and cardiovascular disease(1728)(1736).
According to Kyung Hee University. formula Kyung-Ok-Ko, containing rehmannia, prevented and alleviated dehydroepiandrosterone-induced polycystic ovarian syndrome in rats model(1738).
