Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) refers to pelvic infection combined with liver inflammation

and can be found in such diseases as pelvic inflammation

annex inflammation and infertility. Due to the low incidence and untypical symptoms

it is often ignored by doctors and patients in clinic. However

with the improvement in diagnostic means and attention from doctors

the majority of patients could receive timely diagnosis and treatment. To explore the FHC pathogenesis regularity

the key points of diagnosis and reliable therapies

we referred to domestic and foreign research literatures

started with the confirmation of diagnosis

made traditional Chinese medicine treatment(TCM) based on syndrome differentiation by means of combining TCM and western medicine and administering antibiotics according to patients' clinical manifestations. The purpose was to shorten the FHC treatment course and improve the cure rate. Confirmed FHC is often accompanied with some complications

such as hydrosalpinx

fallopian tube obstruction

and ovarian surrounding adhesion; besides

patients had a poor body disease-resistant ability. In this case

TCM has a certain advantage. According to patients' pulse conditions

FHC etiology and pathogenesis

key points for diagnosis

syndrome differentiation regularity

and medication skills

clinical doctors believed that FHC is correlated with liver Qi stagnation

dampness and heat in liver channel

phlegm-damp stagnation and congelation

and Qi-blood disharmony

respectively adopted therapies for relieving the depressed liver

regulating vital energy and dredging stagnation

relieving the liver and heat

removing damp and turbid

relieving phlegm and dampness

regulating vital energy and removing stagnation

supplementing Qi and nourishing blood

and strengthening body resistance and eliminating evil

and prescribed sensitive antibiotics to specific conditions. The clinical observation showed a good effect to pelvic infection and liver inflammation. Compared with the treatment with single TCM or western medicine

this therapy shows a better curative effect in removing pain from patients and restoring functions of infected organs

and obvious advantages. This exploration provides important reference for the combination of TCM and western medicine in the treatment of FHC.
