    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To explore the significance of pelvic hemodynamics as an index in evaluating efficacy of TCM treatment for chronic pelvic inflammation (CPI). METHODS: Sixty patients with CPI received treatment with Penyanping, a self-formulated TCM recipe, for 30 days, and the changes of pelvic hemodynamic indexes in them were measured before and after treatment within the 3 - 7 days after menstruation using color Doppler. RESULTS: Improvement of pelvic hemodynamics indexes were shown after treatment in ovarian left arteriopalmus index, bilateral resistance index, maximal speed of left arterial blood flow and score of time-velocity, as compared with those before treatment, the difference was significant respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Pelvic hemodynamic indexes could be taken as one of the objective parameters for evaluating efficacy of TCM treatment of CPI according to principle of activating blood circulation to remove stasis, clearing heat and detoxifying.
