Abstract

Jin Kui Yao Lue is an important classic in the field of Chinese gynecology, systematically establishing the theoretical framework for classifying and treating gynecological diseases. It laid a solid foundation for the development of traditional Chinese gynecology. Its profound and insightful content retains profound academic value, offering significant inspiration and guidance for modern gynecological research. This article provides an in-depth analysis of Jin Kui Yao Lue regarding the concepts of blood aspect and water-fluids aspect and their relevance to the pathogenesis and treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Through this study, we recognize the vital significance of these ancient medical concepts in comprehending and treating complex PCOS in the modern era. Not only it can clearly describe the mechanism of PCOS, but it also provides a comprehensive treatment plan. Supporting by recent researches, the treatment plan is beneficial for regulating menstrual cycles and reducing insulin resistance, providing a valuable theoretical foundation, potentially offering new insights and approaches to contemporary gynecological treatment.
