Abstract
Objective: To observe the clincial effect of combined electroacupuncture with Chinese medicine for infertility due to hydrosalpinx. Methods: A total of 114 cases were randomly allocated into 3 groups, an observation group of 38 cases treated by combined electroacupuncture with oral administration of Chinese medicine and medicinal fumigation, a combined acupuncture and Chinese medicine group of 38 cases treated by elecro acupuncture and oral administration of Chinese medicine, and a Chinese medicine group of 38 cases treated by oral administration of Chinese medicine and medicinal fumigation. The cases were treated for 1-3 sessions. After each session of treatment, conduct ultrasound examination after menstruation to observe the condition of hydrosalpinx, and continue with the next session for those with hydrosalpinx retention. Results: The therapeutic efficacy of the observation group was significantly different from that of the combined acupuncture with Chinese medicine group and the Chinese medicine group (P<0.01). However, there was no statistical differce between the latter two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Combined acupuncture with Chinese medicine can obtain obvious effect in treating hydrosalpinx.
