Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Gami-sibjeon-tang with acupuncture and moxa on endometrioma. Methods: We treated two patients who had endometrioma. Western OB&GY doctors had recommended to operate or observe. But they refused the way western doctors cure the disease. Their chief complainment was severe pain during menstruation period. And they had lower abdominal or lower back pain and acnes on skin. We used Gami-sibjeon-tang on both patients with acupuncture and moxa. Results: After treated by Gami-sibjeon-tang with acupuncture and moxa, they experienced improvement of dysmenorrhea and pain of abdomen and back, and reduction of acnes on skin. And even the sizes of endometrioma had reduced or eliminated. Conclusion: We thought the dysmenorrhea of endometrioma was concerned with inflammation and adhension. So Gami-sibjeon-tang was used when the inflammation and adhension didn't healed because of deficiency of Qi and blood. We administerd Gami-sibjeon-tang with acupuncture and moxa and their dysmenorrhea and other symptoms was relieved.
