2. A 43-year-old Miss Liu visited Dr. Hu for ovarian cyst. She had had algomenorrhea for twenty years. Her menstrual periods were short but normal except for the algomenorrhea. At the end of February 1996, she had an operation for endometriosis. Before long, she was found to have another ovarian cyst. At the end of February 1998, a B-type ultrasonic examination at another hospital showed that both of her ovaries had cysts. She received treatment at that hospital for over a year but her symptoms did not have much improvement. Dr. Hu treated her with traditional Chinese medicine according to her menstrual periods for over a year. The cysts gradually disappeared, so did her algomenorrhea.
2. A thirty-two-year-old Ms. Pu visited Dr. Ma in October 1997 for algomenorrhea and menostaxis. The patient had been married for five years and had had a natural miscarriage. Since 1994, she had not been able to conceive because of the algomenorrhea and menostaxis. A gynecological examination and a B-ultrasonic examination found a cyst on the inner membrane of her right ovarium, which had caused secondary barrenness. After the dialectal therapy of traditional medicine by Dr. Ma for three months, her algomenorrhea was eased and her ovarial cyst became smaller. Five months later, her menstruation returned to normal. In March 1999, she gave birth to a boy.
3. A thirty-three-year-old Ms. Li visited Dr. Ma for barrenness in 1988. She had not been able to conceive a child after a miscarriage five years before. Salpingography showed that her fallopian tubes were "not very smooth though unobstructed". A gynecological examination found that her uterus was normal in size, but her adnexa were thicker than normal, and pressure on them would cause slight pain. Her menstruation was normal, but she had irritable breasts and dull abdominal pain before each menstrual period. After taking Dr. Ma's prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine for nine months, she got pregnant.
2. A thirty-year-old Ms. Nie visited Dr. Wang for barrenness on February 17, 2000. The patient had an artificial abortion in 1994 and had not been able to conceive a child since then. An examination in 1999 showed that there was a cyst on one side of the adnexa uteri and the function of the metoarion was not good, but the oraviums were unobstructed and the basal body temperature was normal. Her symptoms were diagnosed as secondary barrenness. After she was treated by Dr. Wang for two months, she was found to be pregnant on April 2000.

An examination at another hospital found that she had emdometriosis uterina. Her menstruation was normal but she had dysmenorrhea, which had aggravated in the four months prior to the visit. Another examination at a hospital in 1992 showed that her fallopian tubes were slightly obstructed. Her husband’s conditions were normal. Dr. Zhu examined the patient and found a node with a size of 2cm x 2.5cm in the uterine neck, which gave the patient tenderness when pressed. Her body temperature was not clearly bidirectional. Besides, the patient complained of dyschezia and breast pains prior to her periods. After receiving Dr. Zhu’s treatment of traditional Chinese medicine for one month, the patient’s menstruation returned to normal and the dysmenorrhea was remarkably lessened. Another two months later, an examination found that her fallopian tubes were not obstructed any more. She conceived a child in February 1994.
