Clinical Study of Baogong Zhixue Granules Combined with Hormone Replacement Therapy in Menopausal Syndrome of Kidney Deficiency and Liver Stagnation Type
Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of Baogong Zhixue Granules combined with conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in patients with menopausal syndrome. Methods: A total of 100 menopausal syndrome patients admitted to Zhuji Sixth People's Hospital from August 2023 to August 2025 were selected and randomly divided into a trial group and a control group using the random number table method,with 50 cases in each group. The trial group received Baogong Zhixue Granules combined with HRT,while the control group received HRT alone. The treatment duration for both groups was three months. Clinical efficacy, incidence of adverse reactions, as well as levels of sex hormone [luteinizing hormone( LH),estradiol( E2),follicle-stimulating hormone( FSH)],serum inflammatory factor [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β)], endometrial thickness, and Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) scores before and after treatment were compared. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate was 94.00% (47/50) in the trial group, significantly higher than that of 80.00% (40/50)in the control group (P<0.05). E2 levels increased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), while LH and FSH levels decreased (P<0.05). The trial group showed higher E2 levels and lower LH and FSH levels than the control group (P<0.05). TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-1β levels decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), with lower levels in the trial group (P<0.05). Endometrial thickness decreased in both groups (P<0.05), with thinner endometrium in the trial group (P<0.05). MENQOL scores decreased in both groups (P<0.05), with lower scores in the trial group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 12.00% (6/50) in the trial group and 18.00% (9/50) in the control group,with no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion:Baogong Zhixue Granules combined with HRT,through multi-target synergistic effects,show advantages in alleviating menopausal syndrome symptoms,regulating endocrine function,and improving quality of life,with good safety.
