Overview of the development and treatment of female triad
The concept of female triad was first proposed by Prof.Xiaolin Tong.The female triad is a generalization of thyroid nodules,breast hyperplasia and uterine fibroids which belong to endocrine diseases and are mostly seen in women,and the three diseases often appear successively or in combination with the two diseases in clinical treatment.By analyzing the recent literature,we summarized the comprehensive descriptions of Chinese and Western medicine on the etiology and treatment of female triad.In Western medicine,the understanding of female triad syndrome is mostly related to endocrine level and hormone,so the treatment is mainly based on hormone level regulation and surgery;in Chinese medicine,the understanding of the three diseases is mostly based on the internal organs,meridians and constitution,and the concept of"treating different diseases with the same treatment",and the treatment is effective from compound prescription of traditional Chinese medicines,proprietary Chinese medicines and acupuncture.Chinese and Western medicine treatments complement each other in the female triad,and have achieved good results.
