Abstract
Objectives: This study examined the recent update of factors affect length and regularity of menstrual cycle and symptoms need for diagnosis in oriental medicine. Methods: For factors, we searched the key word "menstrual cycle length and factor" in ScienceDirect(http://www.sciencedirect.com) and we mainly searched symptoms in the journal of oriental obstetrics & gynecology and text. Results: The result are shown in the Table 1-3. Conclusion: In fact as the fluctuation of menstrual cycle length and regularity is very high in healthy women, we must observe the factor affect menstrual cycle with attention even though rule out disease, operation and HRT etc. these researches show potential to compound oriental medicine care and factor of menstrual cycle change.
