Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the percentage of the oriental medical Ob & GY disease group in Korean Medical Health Insurance and to gain the basic data of enlargement and improvement of Acupuncture Benefits in the oriental medical Ob & Gy field. Methods: We requested data about the status of Insurance Benefits in 2005. 2006 to Health Insurance Review & Assessmenstatus Service(HIRA). And on the basis of this 2005. 2006 data, we analyzed the status of Insurance Benefits and Acupuncture Benefits in the oriental medical Ob & Gy disease group. Results: 1. Total health care benefit costs of Korean medical health insurance in 2005, 2006 took 4.38 percent and 4.25 percent of total health care benefit costs of Health insurance. 2. Total health care benefit costs of the oriental medical Ob & Gy disease group in 2005, 2006 took 0.38 percent and 0.40 percent of total health care benefit costs of Korean medical health insurance. 3. The percentage of Acupuncture benefits costs of the oriental medical Ob & Gy disease group in 2005, 2006 was merely 0.22 percent and 0.23 percent of total Acupuncture Benefits costs. 4. The main sick and wounded name of Ob & Gy diseases of Acupuncture Benefits was limited to Menstrual Disorder(K01)과- Uterus Abnormality(K13). Conclusion: The percentage of the oriental medical Ob & Gy disease group in Korean Medical Health Insurance was very low and the percentage of Acupuncture Benefits of he oriental medical Ob & Gy disease group was also very low. From now on, Searching ay of enlargement of Acupuncture Benefits in the oriental medical Ob & Gy field is required.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of cooperative treatment of western-oriental medicine in post gynecological surgery. Methods: This study is conducted by investigating the hospitalized patient's medical chart and OCS dated from March 2008 to May 2009 in obstetrics and gynecology of oriental medicine department in Dong-Eui medical center. The total patient number was 58. Results: Out of 58 women, 74.1% complained abdominal pain and discomfort, 24.1% complained headache and dizziness, 22.4% complained lumbago, 22.4% complained lethargy and fatigue. There were 63.8% women in the age group between 41 to 50 and 20.7% women in the age group between 31 to 40. 53.4% women hospitalized for less than 7 days, 43.1% women hospitalized for 8 to 14 days. 53.4% had uterine myoma, 20.7% had more than two types of complex diseases and 19.0% had adenomyosis uterine. 60.3% had total hysterectomy and 27.6% had simple hysterectomy. 64.9% had abdominal surgery, 17.5% had laparoscope surgery and 15.8% had hysteroscope surgery. 62.8% of 43 women complained abdominal pain and discomfort, 78.6% of 14 women complained headache and dizziness, 46.2% of 13 women complained lumbago, 84.6% of 13 women complained lethargy and fatigue improved to VAS 0-3.

Purpose: KCDO-3(Korean Classification of Diseases(Oriental Medicine)-third edition) being used in January, 2010 accepted the KCD(Korean Classification of Diseases) and added disease pattern and syndrome of oriental medicine. But, the diagnoses of oriental medicine are too uncertain to express in A00-Z99(KCD). In this case, you should choose in U codes under the KCD use guidelines, but U codes are not capable of representing the symptoms too. So, we suggest the use criteria and consider the weakness of the U codes with medical records of patients who visited with amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea. Methods: We referred medical records of patients who visited oriental obstetrics and gynecology from January 1st to December 31st, 2010. From among them, we set up 122 patients who related with emmeniopathy as target group and searched codes distribution based on medical records. And we described that the process of choosing appropriate codes based on the medical records of 49 amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea patients. Results and Conclusions: The emmeniopathy is divided into menstrual disorder, amenorrhea and systemic disorders at the period of menstruation. And emmeniopathy is expressed in some codes such as N91, N92, N93, N94, U321, U77. When a patient visit hospital, a doctor should choose causal codes when there is confirmed diagnosis. Otherwise, a doctor chooses symptom codes. And if there are more than two diagnosis consistent with definition of chief condition, a doctor should code the first listed diagnosis as a chief condition. Because KCD-5 is classified according to western medical diagnosis, it is difficult to choose in KCD-5 when we diagnosed with disease pattern and syndrome of oriental medicine. But U codes are also deficient to express various condition of emmeniopathy. So we should add 'deficiency and detriment of the thoroughfare and conception vessels', 'prolonged menstruation' and various systemic disorders at the period of menstruation.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio and dysmenorrhea, history of gynecological disease, heart rate varibility(HRV). Methods: From May 1st 2011 to July 10th 2011, a total of 40 female subjects (age 20-39) were recruited. We evaluated the menstruation condition by questionnaires including VAS(Visual Analog Scale), VRS(Verbal Rating Scale) and MVRS (Multidimensional Verbal Rating Scale), also measured subject's WBC differential count and HRV. Results: 1. There was no statistically significant difference in granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio according to menstruation cycle, duration, amount, color, and blood clot. 2. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS, VRS, MVRS mean scores between normal group and abnormal group according to granulocyte/ lymphocyte ratio. 3. The past prevalence of gynecological disease of abnormal group showed significantly higher compared with that of normal group($x^2$=6.578, p=0.010). 4. LF/HF ratio and granulocyte ratio significantly showed positive correlation ($r_s$=0.311 p=0.048) and LF/HF ratio and lymphocyte ratio significantly showed negative correlation($r_s$=-0.319 p=0.045). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the gynecologic diseases are related to disorder of autonomic nervous system, but not dysmenorrhea. And the balance state of sympathetic/parasympathetic nerve infered through granulocyte/lymphocyte ratio and HRV seems to be consistent. However, reconfirmation through further studies is needed.
