Treating chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage by the method of treating both blood and water based on the theory of"lung is the source of water"
Chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage belongs to the slippery fetus and multiple abortions categories in traditional Chinese medicine,its clinical treatment is mainly from the aspects of liver,spleen,kidney,often ignores the relationship between lung and chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage.However,the triple energizer of the human body are interrelated and interact with each other as a whole,the water and fluid of the whole body up and down are integrated,and the lifting and lowering of Qi(气)are mutually dependent to maintain the normal function of the body.Chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage is not only a localized disease of the uterus,but also the overall response of the body under the action of pathogenic factors,its treatment should be based on the whole body,paying attention to the interactions among the internal organs,and Qi,blood,and body fluid,in order to clarify the pathogenesis of the disease.Lung is the source of water,and in charge of regulating the body waterways.When lung source is clean,the water and body fluid can be transported up and down,phlegm and blood stasis are not born,the waterways and meridians in the body are unobstructed,and the flow of the lower-jiao(下焦)is naturally smooth.The main pathogenesis of chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage is dampness and blood stasis mutual obstruction to block meridians and collaterals,the blood does not flow smoothly,and the uterus and fetus can not be nourished,which lead to the miscarriage.Dampness and blood stasis have the same origin and the same diseases,so it is proposed to treat chronic pelvic inflammatory type recurrent miscarriage by the method of treating both blood and water from the aspect of lung is in charge of regulating the body waterways.Patients with symptoms of lung Qi depression such as no or little sweating,comfortable feeling after sweating out,aversion to cold,easy to catch a cold,rough skin,etc.,should be mainly treated with the prescriptions contained Mahuang(Herba Ephedrae),in order to disperse Qi stagnation,dispel evil,and solve vascular obstruction,so that the blood flow is smooth.Additionally,combined with the degree of blood stasis and water-dampness,and the stages of menstruation cycle,stage treatment is applied based on TCM syndrome differentiation to activate the blood to regulate menstruation and strengthen the damaged part,and supplemented with pungent products to disperse the congestion,so as to promote the unobstructed flow of Qi and body fluid,thus keep the fetus nourished and stable.Finally,one empirical case is presented to illustrate the practical application of the method of treating both blood and water in the treatment of this disease,in order to provide new ideas for clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
