[Effect of shen-qian gu-jing granule on fibrin degradation products in serum and menstrual fluid of patients with menorrhagia].

Shen-Qian Gu-Jing granule was used in the treatment of the menorrhagia in 72 cases including idiopathic menorrhagia 28, uterine myoma 29, endometriosis 7, intrauterine device 5, postpartum and post induced abortion 3 cases. The amount of menstrual blood loss (MBL) and the fibrin degradation products (FDP) level in menstrual fluid and peripheral blood were measured before and after treatment. 87.5% of all cases showed a significant decrease in MBL (P less than 0.05). The local FDP level significantly decreased parallel to effectiveness of MBL. The results suggested that the function of this Chinese herbs complex in menorrhagia was related to the regulation of FDP level.
