Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common gynecological disease,belonging to the category of "late menstruation","amenorrhea" and "infertility" in traditional Chinese medicine. It often shows clinical symptoms of liver Qi stagnation,which is closely related to the function of the liver. Therefore,"soothing the liver and relieving depression" has become a common treatment method for PCOS in traditional Chinese medicine. According to the tra-ditional Chinese medicine holistic syndrome differentiation point of view,the liver is closely related to the Chong and Ren meridians,and is inseparable from the maintenance of normal female reproductive function. Based on the theory of "Liver governing Chong and Ren",this paper reviews the common etiology and pathogenesis of PCOS,especially the influence of liver depression and Qi stagnation on its occurrence,and further explores the theoretical mechanism and medication rules of "soothing the liver and relieving depression" for the improvement of PCOS,and attaches clinical cases to illustrate.
