Purpose: Sanhupung's pathological conditions is different from non-postpartum's disease. So it is important to analyze Sanhupung's construction, onset factors and Oriental theraphy. Methods: We studied 104 Sanhupung women visiting $\bigcirc\bigcirc$ hospital form January 2008 to December 2009. We analyzed the general characteristics, kinds of symptoms and Oriental theraphy's present condition. Also We compared patients' age, the number of live births and delivery month to the National Statistical Office's results. Results: 1. Patients over the age of 30, who have one child and who gave birth in September(14.42%) and in Summer(43.26%) occupied the highest percentage. But delivery method was not correlated with Sanhupung. 2. Musculo-skeletal symptoms(42.13%) were the most common symptoms. Wrist, waist, knees(59.59%) were the most common pain areas and the other pain symptoms (40.21%) appeared a significant portion of cases respectively. 3. In the 21~30days after delivery, the most patients visited. The number of patients admitted within 30 days after delivery or within 90 days was small comparing with Sanhupung onset. Patients treated within 10 days(47.12%) and treated only herb medicine(54.90%) were the most common. And the patients responded satisfacion or over were 88.46%. Conclusion: Patients' age, the number of born babies, delivery time were correlated with Sanhupung symptoms, but the method of delivery was not associated. And musculo-skeletal symptoms were the most common symptoms. Sanhupung patient's treatment period and methods were limited.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current characteristics of outpatients using herbal medicine for treating Sanhupung and provide treatment instructions in the clinical field. Methods: To analyze characteristics of outpatients with postpartum disease, I searched medical records from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2020 using O94 (Sequelae of complication of pregnancy) in an oriental medicine hospital and 73 Sanpuhung patients were analyzed. Results: 1. The average age of Sanpuhung outpatients was 32.83±3.14 years old. The mean body weight difference between full-term pregnancy and visiting date was -7.79±4.23 kg. 2. The most chief complaints of Sanpuhung outpatients were musculo-skeletal symptoms in 57 (78.08%) patients followed by neuropsychiatric symptoms and circulatory symptoms. In musculo-skeletal symptoms, the most chief complaint area was wrist in 48 (65.75%) patients followed by waist, shoulder and knee. 3. 68 (93.15%) patients gave birth between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy, 33 (45.20%) patients gave birth by caesarean operation. Patients delivered in July visited the hospital most frequently for postpartum care. 4. 68 (93.15%) patients gave birth to single-born babies. The average birth weight was 3.13±0.45 kg. 5. In distribution from delivery to visitation period, the average was 65.08±103.2 days. The number of visits less than two times was 72 (98.63%). 6. A total of 73 outpatients got herbal medicine. Depending on the symptoms, herbal medicines were different from each other. Ikgibohyeol-tang-gagambang, Ojeok-san-gagambang and Gunggui-tang-gagambang were mostly used.

Objectives: This study is to report the clinical effect of oriental medicine on a patient suffering from postabortal syndrome with somatic pain disorder, Qi deficiency and depression. Methods: The patient had a miscarriage by cervical incompetence in 24 weeks' gestation even though she had operated cervical cerclage in 20 weeks' gestation. The patient received herbal medication, acupuncture, moxibustion during 20 days of outpatient treatment. The clinical effects were evaluated through VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) and EPDS (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale Test). Results: The clinical symptoms of somatic pain and Qi deficiency were reduced during the treatment. The EPDS score also decreased from 19 points (high risk level) to 8 points (low risk level). Conclusions: This case study showed that herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion treatment appeared to effectively reduce postabortal syndrome. Since patients previously experienced cervical incompetence tend to have habitual abortion for next pregnancy, further long term observation and preventive treatment are needed in this case for next safe pregnancy and childbirth.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyze the domestic study trends on Korean medicine treatment of Sanhupung. Methods: Case studies applying Korean medicine treatment on Sanhupung were searched through 5 domestic journal databases. General characteristics, interventions, outcomes, and results of the selected studies were analyzed. Also, the quality of the case studies was reviewed based on the CAse REport (CARE) guideline and Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist. Results: 11 studies (16 cases) were found to be analyzed according to their general characteristics, symptoms, interventions, treatment period, outcome, and results. The most common complaint of Sanhupung patients was pain, and the most applied intervention for Sanhupung was herbal medicine and acupuncture. The duration of treatment ranged from 9 days to 4 months. All case studies reported that the Korean medicine treatment was effective in treating Sanhupung. According to the quality assessment, 'Timeline of case', 'Diagnostic challenges', 'Intervention adherence and tolerability', 'Adverse and unanticipated events', and 'Informed consent' were showed low reporting rates. Conclusions: Further clinical studies are needed to establish the evidence for Korean medicine treatment for Sanhupung.

Objectives: The definition of Sanhupung (Puerperal wind disorder) has been varied and there has been a prior study to establish the definition, but no clear conclusion has been reached on diagnostic criteria. Therefore, the aim of this study was to clearly redefine the definition of Sanhupung using the Delphi method. Methods: This study used the Delphi technique. A panel consisting of 13 experts of Korean medicine, particularly in Obstetrics & Gynecology, participated in the Delphi survey that included answering the 3rd round survey. The Delphi survey was conducted by evaluating and correcting the questionnaire using e-mail. Results: Through the Delphi survey, we have reached an agreement regarding the diagnostic criteria of Sanhupung. They are as follows: 1) Sanhupung can be diagnosed based on basic symptoms. If one or more symptoms are expressed in the basic symptom group, it can be diagnosed as Sanhupung. It is diagnosed in detail as a pain type or a sensory impairment type according to the category of basic symptoms. 2) Incidental symptoms are not essential for diagnosis, and are referred to for checking general weakness and autonomic nervous system conditions. 3) In order to meet the diagnostic criteria, the symptoms should occur within 6 months after childbirth or miscarriage, and the cause of the symptoms should not be classified as other diseases. Conclusions: The diagnostic criteria of Sanhupung were suggested based on the Delphi survey among experts in the field. Further research is necessary to improve the reliability and validity of the criteria.

Purpose: During Postpartum period many women complain multiple pain, cold hypersensitivity, hot flush, sweating and so on. We call the postpartum disease as San Hu Pung. We studied characters of DITI Characters of women suffering from Postpartum disease. Methods: We studied 55 patients visiting OOhospital from February 2006 to November 2007. The subjects were categorized in two groups, symptom group(37) and no symptom group(18). We measured the temperatures of abdomen(CV17, CV12, CV4), upper and lower limb(PC8, LU4, LR3, ST32) and back(GB21, BL18, BL53). We studied the difference of DITI between two groups by Student T-test using SPSS for windows (version 12.0). Results: The general characteristics such as age, days of postpartum, primiparity, cesarean section, partum season, breast-feeding of two groups were not different statistically. Temperatures of abdomen(CV17, CV12, CV4) and back(GB21, BL18, BL53) of two groups were not different statistically. Temperatures of Lt. PC8 and both LR3 of symptom group were statistically higher than no symptom group. The difference between Lt. PC8 and LU4, both LR3 and ST32 of symptom group were statistically higher than no symptom group. Conclusion: The results suggest that women suffering from Postpartum disease shows high temperature on hand and foot. It seems that postpartum disease patients tend to have blood deficiency. DITI can be useful to diagnose San Hu Pung. The more studies to diagnose San Hu Pung would be needed.
