Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is defined as endocrinologic diseases among reproductive-age women caused by undeveloped follicles clumping on the ovaries that interferes with the function of the normal ovaries associated with a high risk for metabolic disorder(1) as resulting of enlarged ovaries(2), leading to hormone imbalance(excessive androgen and anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) )(1)(3)(4)(5), induced Hirsutism(6)(7), reproductive disorder(10(12)), risks of type 2 diabetes(9)(10)(11), metabolic syndrome(10)(12) and early cardiovasular disease(8)(13), acne(10)(14), endometrial cance(18)(19),weight gain and obesity(15)(16)(17). The syndrome effects over 5% of women population or 1 in 20 women.
Unfortunately, according to studies, women with PCOs after the reproductive age, are associated to continuously increase risk of type II diabetes, with no increasing altered glucose tolerance(20), CVD and hypertension(21).
In Traditional Chinese Medicine Perspective
While conventional medicine focus of using synthetic medication to induce ovulation and assisted artificial insemination for infertility couple, if the medicine fail, traditional Chinese medicine views polycystic ovarian syndrome in different approaches.Polycystic ovary syndrome, according to traditional Chinese medicine is a medical condition characterized by accumulative of fluid over a prolonged period of time causes of dampness and phlegms(247a)(247b) build up on the ovaries due to the effects of vary differentiations, affecting not only the women’s menstrual cycle, but also ovulation and fertility(1247a)(247b).
Dietary Suggestion, Life Style Modification and Nutritional Supplements according to TCM
According to Angela Warburton(1249), a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine practicing in Toronto, Canada, incorporating the proper dietary and lifestyle modifications, may make a BIG difference in the long-term for treatment of PCOs(1249).
PCOs Treatment according traditional Chinese medicine
Depending to differentiation, most common diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome can be classified into
Spleen yang deficiency
Spleen yang deficiency is a serve form of spleen qi deficiency, characterized by a condition of inability of spleen in distribution of fluid and nutrient to the body organs, in removal and descend the turbids(2072), causing malfunctions functions of the organs and fluid retention. Prolong period of spleen yang deficiency may induce the development of phlegm, including women with PCOs.
Women with PCOs diagnosed by spleen yang deficiency may also experience yang vacuity impelled cold expression of additional symptoms of abdominal pain(2074), lack of appetite(2076), fatigue(2075), lightheadedness(2075) and headache(2075), weakness of the four limbs(2077), diarrhea(2073)(2076), chilliness(2077), edema(2074), pale, swollen, wet tongue(2076) and weak, slow, deep pulse(2072),....
In the review of the Data base provided by PubMed, spleen qi deficiency may alter certain metabolic pathways, such as the energy, protein, and glycolytic metabolisms(2078), body weight and motor behavior(2079), skeletal muscle function(3080), blood glucose, lipid metabolism and fat-islet axie.(2081),.....
Herbal Medicine recommended for Treatment of PCOs induced by spleen yang deficiency
Cordyceps militaris(Dong Chong Xia cao)
Dong chong xia cao, the sweet and warm herb also known as cordyceps sinensis, used in traditional Chinese medicine as immune enhancer(2229)(2230), anti microbial(2231)(2232), anti oxidant(2233)(2234), anti inflammatory(2235)(2236), anti cancer(2237)(2238), cardio-protective(2239)(2240)(2241) agent and for treatment of cirrhosis(2242)(2243), lower back pain (due to it analgesic property)(2244), chronic cough and asthma(2245)(2246), ... as it tonifies yang, nourishes lung yin, transforms phlegm, by enhancing the function of kidney and lung channels(2229).
Phytochemical constituents(2228)
1. Cordyceps polysaccharide
2. Ergosterol
3. Cordycepic acid
4. Amino Acids
5. Lysine
6. Aspartic acid
7. Threonine
8. Taurine
9. Etc.
On metabolic syndrome, in diabetics rat model, Dong chong xia cao inhibited significantly the level of glucose metabolic disorders(2250)(such as hyperglycemia(2251)(2252) by enhancing the glyconeogenesis in serum glucose and lipid profiles(2247), by promoting anti-lipid peroxidation activities and inhibit accumulation of cholesteryl ester in macrophages via suppression of LDL oxidation(2253), regulating the expression of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) activity(2253) and activating protein kinase (AMPK)(2254), improved insulin sensitive(2248)(2249) by inhibiting the activity of human protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) activity(2249) though metabolism of glucose and lipid(2247)(2248), the microcirculation disturbance(2247)(2248) and the oxidative stress(2247)
On obesity, dong chong xia cao has found to improve the obesity(2255)(2256) through decreased body weight and improved energy uptake(2255) by inhibiting alpha-glycosidase(2255) and adipogenic(2256) and lipid accumulation(2256) activity.
On metabolic syndrome's complications, the herbal medicine reduced risk of diabetes(2259)(2260) and cardiovascular disease(2259) through inhibition of low grade inflammation(2259)(2260) and platelet activation(2263)via immunomodulatory(2259)(2260) and antioxidant activity(2261)(2262).
According to Jenteh Junior College of Medicine and Nursing Management and National Cheng Kung University Medical College, dong chong xia cao improved sex desire(2257), and fertility(2258) through increasing serum testosterone and estradiol-17 (E2) concentrations in production of quality of maturing oocyte, respectively without effecting follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) or prolactin(2257).
