摘要

To investigate the effect of Chinese medicine (CM) and Western medicine (WM) on quality of life (QOL) after conservative surgery for endometriosis. A total of 320 patients with endometriosis were randomized into two groups by using random block design

CM group (160 cases

activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis treatment based on syndrome differentiation) and WM group (160 cases

gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist or gestrinone treatment) after conservative surgery. Treatment was given for 3–6 months (according to the revised American Fertility Society scoring system stage)

and the World Health Organization QOL-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) was applied to patients before and after treatment to assess QOL. There were 136 cases in the CM group and 141 cases in the WM group completing therapy. In the CM group

the use of the WHOQOL-BREF showed that the physical

psychological and environmental scores posttreatment were significantly higher than those at pre-treatment (P<0.05)

and for 12 items (pain and discomfort

energy and fatigue

sleep and rest

mobility

activities of daily living

work capacity

negative feelings

health and social care: accessibility and quality

participation in and opportunities for recreation/leisure activities

appetite

QOL score

overall health status and QOL)

the difference in scores was significant (P<0.05). In the WM group

4 items (pain and discomfort

opportunities for acquiring new information and skills

QOL score

overall health status and QOL) had significantly different scores post-treatment compared with those at pre-treatment (P<0.05). Before treatment

the QOL in the two groups of patients showed no significant difference (P>0.05). After treatment

the scores for physical health in the CM group were significantly higher than those of the WM group (P<0.05) and the scores of 4 items (mobility

activities of daily living

sexual activity

QOL score) in the CM group were significantly higher than those in the WM group (P<0.05). CM and WM treatment could improve the QOL of patients with endometriosis after conservative surgery. CM treatment is more effective than WM.
