Objectives: This study aims to search the clinical cases that treated leiomyoma through the traditional Chinese medicine, to understand the study trend on leiomyoma in China, and to clairfy the cause of leiomyoma and its treatment by the oriental medicine herbs. Methods: We searched the key word "leiomyoma" in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI)[http://www.cnki.net], and narrowed its searching area to the papers published in the year 2010. Of 720 study papers, we chose 21 clinical papers on the leiomyoma, and studied the patient case, treating method, result of treatment, and checked the category, cause, treatment method of leiomyoma. Results: The results are shown in the Table 1-3. Conclusions: Leiomyoma is categorized in the traditional Chinese medicine as both lump occuring inside the body and stony abdominal lump. The main cause of leiomyoma is qi-stagnation and blood stasis, essence deficiency and pathogen affluence. The treatment method is used by activating blood and resolving stasis but harmonizing the spleen and stomach to prevent damaging healthy qi. The development herbal medicine of treating leiomyoma is Gyehongbyeolgaphwan, Gyejibongnyeonggyonang, Gungryusogyonang, Angonpyoen etc. In treating leiomyoma, the herbs were much used to regulate qi as Baekbokryung, Danggwi, Baekchul, Doin, Moryeo, Achul, Mokdanpi etc. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM) treatment of leiomyoma has efficiency of improve symptom but low ratio of complete recovery.

자궁근종은 자궁 내 평활근의 부분적증식으로 인해 발생하며, 여성에서 발생하는 종양 가운데 가장 흔한 종양이다1,2). 여성의 난소 기능이 활발할 때 잘 발생하며, 임신 중에는 크기가 커지고, 폐경기 이후에 발생하는 일은 거의 없으며 오히려 기존에 있던 근종도 위축되는 것으로 보아 자궁근종은 여성호르몬의 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이것이 주된 원인이라 말할 수는 없다2,3). 자궁근종의 치료에 있어 서양의학에서는 증상이 없는 경우에는 6개월마다 정기검진을 통해 주기적인 관찰요법을 시행한다.
자궁근종이란 무엇인가?
자궁근종은 자궁 내 평활근의 부분적증식으로 인해 발생하며, 여성에서 발생하는 종양 가운데 가장 흔한 종양이다1,2). 여성의 난소 기능이 활발할 때 잘 발생하며, 임신 중에는 크기가 커지고, 폐경기 이후에 발생하는 일은 거의 없으며 오히려 기존에 있던 근종도 위축되는 것으로 보아 자궁근종은 여성호르몬의 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있으나 이것이 주된 원인이라 말할 수는 없다2,3).
증상이 있는 경우 자궁근종의 치료방법은 무엇을 고려해서 결정되는가?
자궁근종의 치료에 있어 서양의학에서는 증상이 없는 경우에는 6개월마다 정기검진을 통해 주기적인 관찰요법을 시행한다. 증상이 있는 경우에는 환자의 연령, 임신여부, 향후 임신계획 및 근종의 크기와 위치를 고려해서 치료방법을 결정하는데, 수술요법에 의존하는 경우가 대부분이고, 비수술요법은 보존적인 요법으로 사용되고 있다1-4,6,7).
