| Disease | A CLINICAL STUDY IS REPORTED COMPARING EFFICACY OF WATER BAG, RIVANOL, TRICHOSANTHES ROOT AND YUANHUA(DAPHNE GENKWA) AS ABORTIFACIENTS IN MID-TRIMESTER PREGNANCY.
THE AVERAGE DURATION FOR ACCOMPLISHING ABORTION, THE CONDITION OF EXPULSION OF THE FETUS AND THE COMPLICATIONS ENCOUNTERED WERE DISCUSSED.
A COMPARISION OF THE ABORTIFACIENT EFFECT OF 3 YUANHUA PREPARATIONS (ELIXIR OF FLOWER, AND ELIXIR OF DAPHNE GENKWA ROOT AND YUANHUACINE ) WAS MADE.
THE ELIXIR OF FLOWER AND ROOT PREPARATIONS SHOWED NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AND HAD MORE MERIT THAN YUANHUACINE.
TRICHOSANTHES ROOT, RIVANOL AND DAPHNE GENKWA SLIGHTLY AFFECTED THE HEART, LIVER AND KIDNEY IN A SMALL NUMBER OF PATIENTS AFTER ABORTION. THESE EFFECTS WERE TRANSIENT AND REVERSIBLE.
FOLLOW-UP OBSERVATION SIX MONTHS AFTER ABORTION IN REGARD TO MENSTRUATION, LEUKORRHEA,LIBIDO,LUMBAR AND ABDOMINAL PAIN AND PSYCHOGENIC CONDITIONS REVEALED NO SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON SUBSEQUENT PREGNANCY, PARTURITION AND INFANT GROWTH.
THE PROS AND CONS OF THE FOUR METHODS WERE SUMMARIZED. THE CHOICE OF THE PREPARATIONS WAS EMPHASIZED. |
