Application of supplementing deficiency and removing stasis therapy in the treatment of incomplete drug abortion based on the theory of deficiency and stasis
Due to advantages such as simple operation and small trauma,drug abortion is one of the methods widely used in clinical practice for early pregnancy termination.However,its complications have seriously affected women's acceptance of drug abortion.Furthermore,in cases when fairly big amounts of residual tissues are long left in the uterus,it is necessary to take curettage,which means extra mental and physical harm to women.This paper analyzes both the process and the postpartum features of drug abortion,noticing that during the process of incomplete abortion,there are blood and vitality losses,the reason might be Chong and Ren(冲任)Channels damages,which causes blood flow,if blood stasis can not be handled in time,it will stay at uterus.Or blood stasis is caused by weakness,blood stasis is not only a pathological product,but also a new pathogenic factor,presenting the characteristics of mixed deficiency and blockage.To sum up,the pathogenesis of incomplete drug abortion is the weakness and blood stasis after giving birth to a child.Based on such findings,a key principle of supplementing deficiency and removing stasis is put forward for the treatment of incomplete drug abortion,and the proposed methods include:① Supplementing deficiencies and invigorating Qi(气),and nourishing blood strengthen Chong and Ren Channels,and at the same time,invigorating Qi to prevent stagnation and blood stasis caused by deficiency.② Improving health,removing the blood stasis and getting rid of stagnations,but violent attack and too early bleeding stopping should be avoided.③ Combining tonification and purgation.The principle of tonifying deficiency and removing blood stasis is to replenish deficiency without leaving blood stasis.The paper also believes that replenishing Qi and nourishing blood,eliminating blood stasis and promoting blood regenerating can stop the original blood from getting stagnated,and generate new blood.In short,combined with the characteristics of etiology and pathogenesis of drug incomplete abortion,the treatment of tonifying deficiency and removing blood stasis is given,so residual tissues can be expelled,which is helpful to the recovery of the uterus.This therapy takes into account the reduction of the incidence of incomplete abortion,the protection of female reproduction and physical and mental health,and the protection of fertility,manifesting the unique advantages of traditional Chinese medicine.
