Abstract:
This study aims to investigate the curative effect of Kangfuyan capsule in the treatment of damp-heat and blood stasis type of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), and its influence on serum inflammatory factors IL-6, CRP and TNF-α. A total of 83 patients with PID were randomly divided into two groups: Western medicine group (control group, n=41) received oral antibiotics (azithromycin + metronidazole) alone and the traditional Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine group (experimental group, n=42) received Kangfuyan capsule based on Western medicine therapy. Clinical efficacy between these two groups and the influence of drugs in serum inflammatory factors (IL-6, CRP and TNF-α) were compared. The total effective rate was 78.05% in the control group and 97.62% in the experimental group and difference between these two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01). The symptoms and signs in the two groups significantly improved after treatment (P<0.05) and improvement rate was significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, serum inflammatory factor levels in the two groups were significantly lower than levels before treatment (P<0.05) and improvement rate was significantly better in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.05). Kangfuyan capsule combined with antibiotics can effectively relieve the symptoms and signs of patients, improve the efficiency of treatment, provide high safety, and does not increase adverse reactions.
