Abstract：【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Diaojing Decoction in treating patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) of the kidney deficiency and phlegm-damp type. 【Methods】 A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data from 97 patients with PCOS of the kidney deficiency and phlegm-damp type who were admitted to our hospital between June 2022 and June 2023. Patients were divided into a control group (treated with drospirenone-ethinyl estradiol tablets, n=49) and an observation group (treated with the same medication plus Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Diaojing Decoction, n=48). The therapeutic effects, TCM syndrome scores, menstrual recovery, gynecological ultrasound indicators, sex hormone levels, and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. 【Results】 The therapeutic effect in the observation group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores for main and secondary symptoms, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for dysmenorrhea, and endometrial thickness were all lower in the observation group than in the control group. While resistance index (RI) and follicle diameter were higher, and menstrual cycle length was shorter in the observation group than in the control group. The differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Post-treatment, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level was higher in the observation group, while testosterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels were lower compared to the control group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the total incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Huopu Xialing Decoction combined with Diaojing Decoction is effective in improving TCM syndrome, menstrual cycle, and endometrial thickness, while reducing testosterone and LH levels, thereby enhancing therapeutic outcomes with high safety.
