Efficacy of Qiancao () and Haipiaoxiao (), a traditional Chinese herb pair, on abnormal uterine bleeding in rats with incomplete abortion

J Tradit Chin Med. 2022 Oct;42(5):758-763. doi: 10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.20220707.002.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the most effective weight ratio of Qiancao () and Haipiaoxiao () used to produce decoction for the treatment of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) in rats with incomplete abortion, and to study the possible mechanism.

METHODS: The models of AUB were established by incomplete drug abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol in pregnant rats. The therapeutic effects of decoctions made by eight different weight ratios of Qiancao () and Haipiaoxiao () were observed.

RESULTS: Statistical analysis revealed that the most effective weight ratio of Qiancao () and Haipiaoxiao () to treat AUB in this study was 2∶1.

CONCLUSION: The insights gained from this study would improve understanding of the mechanisms involved in the effect of Qiancao () and Haipiaoxiao () on AUB.
