A Brief Analysis of the Syndrome Differentiation and Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on the Concept of"Phlegm-Fluid Interaction"from Blood Syn-drome Theory
The development of polycystic ovary syndrome(PC OS)is closely related to dysfunction in the distribu-tion of body fluids,with phlegm pathogen being one of its core pathological mechanisms.Based on the physiological and pathological aspects of fluid circulation as described in Blood Syndrome Theory,explains the theoretical interpretation of"phlegm"and the mechanism of PCOS formation.Tang believed that the physiological process of fluid regulation is the re-sult of the combined action of the kidney,spleen,and lung,and the dysfunction in these organs can lead to the internal gen-eration of phlegm pathogens.Phlegm often mixes with other pathological factors and can be complicated by fire or stasis,de-pending on the imbalance of Yin,Yang,water,and fire.This article discusses syndrome differentiation and the treatment based on various pathological factors and their corresponding symptoms,to provide insights for future treatment of PCOS.
