Abstract

Objectives

To report the effect of Sajaehyangbu-hwan on a polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) patient with anovulation.

Methods

The patient with PCOS was treated by Sajaehyangbu-hwan twice a day. The patient measured basal body temperature(BBT) and took a urine luteinizing hormone test(LH test) for three months to predict ovulation.

Results

Two ovulations were observed in BBT and LH test results within three months and the typical biphasic BBT pattern was established.

Conclusions

Sajaehyangbu-hwan has an effect on establishing obvious biphasic pattern in BBT of the patient with PCOS and the anovulation caused by PCOS.
