Clinical effect of Ziwuliuzhu acupuncture combined with Shengruling oral liquid on postpartum hypogalactia
Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy and breast fullness of Ziwuliuzhu acupuncture combined with Shengruling oral liquid in the treatment of postpartum hypogalactia.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 120 postpartum hypogalactia patients admitted to the Obstetrics Department of Hengshui People's Hospital from November 2020 to November 2022.According to treatment methods,they were divided into two groups,with 60 cases in each group.The control group received treatment with Shengruling oral liquid,while the observation group received acupuncture treatment with Ziwuliuzhu acupuncture on the basis of the control group.The clinical efficacy,TCM symptom score,lactation score,breast fallness degree score,formula milk supplementation amount,serum prolactin(PRL),exclusive breastfeeding rate,and total incidence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results The total clinical effective rate of observation group(95.00%)was higher than that of control group(76.67%)(P<0.05).After treatment,the scores of reduced milk,thin milk,soft breast and pale face,and the supplementation of formula milk powder in the observation group were lower than those in the control group,the lactation score and breast fullness score,serum PRL,exclusive breast feeding rate(56.00%,58.33%)at 7~14 days and 14~21 days of treatment were higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The total incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group(5.00%)showed no statistically significant difference compared to the control group(8.33%)(P>0.05).Conclusions The combination of Ziwuliuzhu acupuncture and Shengruling oral liquid can effectively increase the milk secretion of postpartum hypogalactia patients,improve the degree of breast fullness,stimulate serum PRL secretion,and improve the rate of exclusive breastfeeding,and the combined treatment does not cause serious adverse reactions,so it has a certain safety.
