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 Medicine 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



Spleen yang deficiency


Spleen yang deficiency is a serve form of spleen qi deficiency, characterized by a condition of inability of spleen in distribution of fluid and nutrient to the body organs, in removal and descend the turbids(2072), causing malfunctions functions of the organs and fluid retention. Prolong period of spleen yang deficiency may induce the development of phlegm, including women with PCOs.
Women with PCOs diagnosed by spleen yang deficiency may also experience yang vacuity impelled cold expression of additional symptoms of abdominal pain(2074), lack of appetite(2076), fatigue(2075), lightheadedness(2075) and headache(2075), weakness of the four limbs(2077), diarrhea(2073)(2076), chilliness(2077), edema(2074), pale, swollen, wet tongue(2076) and weak, slow, deep pulse(2072),....
In the review of the Data base provided by PubMed, spleen qi deficiency may alter certain metabolic pathways, such as the energy, protein, and glycolytic metabolisms(2078), body weight and motor behavior(2079), skeletal muscle function(3080), blood glucose, lipid metabolism and fat-islet axie.(2081),.....

5.  Du Zhong(cortex Eucommiae Ulmoidis)
Du zhong, the sweet, slightly acrid, and warm herb, also known as eucommia bark used in traditional Chinese medicine as immune enhancer(2308)(2310),  diuretic(2311), sedative(2312), anti inflammatory(2313)(2314) advocate,....... and for treatment of chronic pain in lower back and knees, lack of strength, dizziness, impotence, irregular menses and frequent urination, unstable pregnancy, chronic pain in lower back and excessive movements of fetus,... as its tonifes the kidney and liver and enhances the functions of kidney and liver functions(2307).

Chemicals constituents(2309)

3. Pervoside A
4. Glucosyringic acid
5. Vanillic acid-beta-glucoside
6. Geniposide acid
7. Aucubin
8. Geniposide
9. Pinoresinol-4,4'-di-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside

In metabolic syndrome, du zhong showed to attenuate hypertension(2316)(2319)(2321) through exhibiting  beta-adrenergic blocking activity(2319) and regulating NO and renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and directly relaxing artery(2321); obesity(2316)(2317)(2318) and improve insulin resistance(2318) or hyperlipaemia(2318)(2316), through suppressed increases body weight(2317), white adipose tissue weight(2317), plasma triglyceride levels(2317) and free fatty acids level(2317) and through secretion and regulation of adipocytokines(2318); hyperglycemia(2323),
sexual dysfunction(2316), and complications of diabetes(2316)(2324) through antioxidant(2324) activity and altered the plasma and hepatic lipid levels by lowering the cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, while elevating the plasma HDL-cholesterol level(2125).
Dr. Park and research team at the Yeungnam University said "Du-zhong extract is potentially beneficial for the prevention and management of complications of type 2 diabetes"(2324); and cardiovascular disease(2320) through reversed hypertensive vascular remodelling(2320)(2322)(2323) and inhibited angiotensin II (Ang II) expression in stimulated extracellular matrix biosynthesis in mesangial cell(2322)(2323)
According to study, compound FF16, compatibility of Rhodiola crenulata, Cordyceps militaris, and Rheum palmatum, was found effectively  in enhanced glucose-stimulated insulin secretion through increased islet amount, the enlarged islet area by protecting the pancreatic beta-cells(2315).
