Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of oriental treatments on the cervical incompetence. Methods: Treatment of incompetent cervix has traditionally been surgical correction of presumed physical deficit in tissue strength with an encircling or cerclage suture, placed electively between 12 and 15 weeks. Despite the prolonged controversy about the role of cerclage, a randomized trial of cerclage versus bed rest or no therapy in women with atypical history of incompetent cervix has not been concluded. We treated a 32-year-old female who had been suffering from cervical incompetence with Herbal medicine(Gamidangkwisan). Results: After oriental medical treatment, the clinical symptom of Cervical incompetence was improved and she was delivered in 42 weeks. Conclusion: This case study shows that the oriental medical therapy is effective in treating cervical incompetence. If we make more studies about this disease, it will bring the high satisfaction of patient and the improvement of treatment rate.
