월경통(月經痛)은 부인과(婦人科) 질환중(疾患中) 가장 흔한 질환(疾患) 중의 하나로서 대부분의 여성(女性)들은 월경(月經)의 시작(始作)과 함께 그 정도(程度)가 경미(輕微)한 어느 정도(程度)의 복부불쾌감(腹部不快感)이나 피로감(疲勞感)등을 느끼지만 일상생활(日常生活)에 별다른 지장(支障)을 초래(招來)하지않을 뿐 아니라 월경직전(月經直前)에만 나타났다가 월경(月經)이 시작(始作)되면 정상(正常)으로 회복(回復)되므로 특별(特別)한 치료(治療)를 요(要)하지 않는다. 다만 그 정도가 심(甚)하여 강도(强度)가 높은 동통(疼痛)을 수반(隋伴)하거나, 혹(或)은 장기화(長期化)하여 심신(心身)에 장애(障碍)를 초래(招來)하게 되는 경우 이것을 월경통(月經痛)이라하니 치료(治療)를 하지 않으면 안된다. 월경통(月經痛)의 원인(原因)은 다양(多樣)하지만 병기(病機)는 모두 기혈(氣血), 허실한열(虛實寒熱), 경전(經前), 경후(經後)를 막론(莫論)하고 통(通)하지 않으므로 통(痛)하게 된 것이라고 할 수 있다. 그러므로 월경통(月經痛)의 치료원칙(治療原則)은 통(通)하게하여 불통(不痛)케하는 것이니, 활혈통락(活血通絡)하고 충임맥(衝任脈)과 기혈(氣血)의 조리(調理)를 위주(爲主)로 하여 온경지통(溫經止痛)하고 통창기혈(通暢氣血)한다. 월경통(月經痛)의 치료법(治療法)은 월경(月經)의 변화시기(變化時期)에 따라 치료법칙(治療法則)에 차이(差異)가 있으나 그 중에서 월경중(月經中)에 치료하는 것이 가장 치료효과(治療效果)가 우수하다고 한다. 이에 월경중(月經中)에 한약(韓藥)의 내복치료(內服治療)와 함께 병용(竝用)하여 사용할 수 있는 치료법(治療法)중 경락(經絡)에 약물(藥物)을 붙이므로서 약물(藥物)의 효능(效能)이 직접 경락혈위(經絡穴位)의 피부(皮膚)를 통하여 흡수(吸收)되어 종합적(綜合的)으로 효과(效果)를 발휘(發揮)하므로 치료효과(治療效果)가 신속(迅速)하며 통증(痛症)이나 부작용(副作用)도 없고 경제적(經濟的)인 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)을 월경통(月經痛)에 이용한 자료를 조사하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)은 주(主)로 기체혈어(氣滯血瘀)와 한습응체(寒濕凝滯)한 실증(實症)의 월경통(月經痛)과 원발성월경통(原發性月經痛)인 경우(境遇)에 많이 응용(應用)되었다. 2. 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)에 있어서 치료혈위(治療穴位)는 신궐혈(神闕穴), 즉 제부위(臍部位)의 복부임맥혈(腹部任脈穴)들을 주로 선혈(選穴)하고 있다. 3. 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)의 치료약물(治療藥物)은 주(主)로 활혈거어(活血祛瘀)하고 온경통락지통(溫經通絡止痛)하는 약물(藥物)들로서 내치법(內治法)의 약물(藥物)과 동일(同一)하였다. 4. 월경통(月經痛)에 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)으로 치료(治療)한 시기(時期)는 월경(月經) 3일전(前)부터 월경중(月經中), 또는 월경후(月經後)까지의 기간(期間)으로 주(主)로 월경전후기(月經前後期)에 집중(集中)되어 있다. 5. 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)의 치료효과(治療效果)는 우수(優秀)한 것으로 나타났으며, 주(主)로 기혈허약(氣血虛弱)이나 간신휴손(肝腎虧損)의 허증(虛症)보다는 기체혈어(氣滯血瘀)와 한습응체(寒濕凝滯)의 실증(實症)인 경우(境遇)에 더 치료효과(治療效果)가 우수(優秀)하였다. 6. 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)은 외치법(外治法)의 하나로서 간편하고 경제적(經濟的)이며 통증(痛症)과 부작용(副作用)이 없는 등(等)의 장점(長點)이 있다. 7. 이상(以上)으로 월경통(月經痛)의 혈위첩부요법(穴位貼敷療法)은 행경기(行經期)에 급치(急治)하고 표치(標治)하는 치법(治法)으로 활용(活用)할 수 있다.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a complex manual therapy program on hip and knee pain occurring together with menstrual pain and iliotibial band tightness in a woman with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Methods: This study was carried out over a period of 3 months by dividing the treatment process into three sequential stages. Intensities of menstrual pain, hip pain, and knee pain, and hip range of motion (ROM) in the participant were assessed at baseline and at the end of each stage, and a modified intervention was applied according to results of assessments after each stage. Results: There was a decrease in the intensity of menstrual pain after the first and third stages of treatment, and there were reductions in the intensities of hip and knee pain after the third stage. Hip ROM was rather decreased after the second stage, but it was increased after the third stage. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that treatment of the instability and positional fault of sacroiliac joint can relieve hip and knee pain, improve hip ROM, and alleviate primary dysmenorrhea in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Hysterosalpingograms (H.S.G.) have been done for several decades to determine causative factors in female infertility. However, the H.S.G. only reverals uterine cavity and tubal patency or inpatency. The author prefers to find more details in regard to the status and condition of the female reproductive organs and their surrounding tissue as they pertain to infertility. H.S.G. in combination with laparoscopic examination reveals the following results. Preparation and method of performance of H.S.G. during laparoscopy in a healthy reproductive age women are as follows. When laparoscopy is not contraindicated, NPO is ordered with routine bowel preparation. Analgesics administered by injection prior to procedure are valium 10mgs and pethidine 50-100mgs. The radiographic procedure is the same as for any HSG technique. During laparoscopy a solution of 3 to 10 ccs. of 60% hypaque sodium is used. Fluroscopic scout films are obtained A-P and oblique views as well as a delayed check film. 1. Age distribution of primary and secondary infertility in this studies involving tubal factors was as follows: 20-29 age group showed 46% incidence and in the 30-39 age group, 50% incidence. Duration of infertility in this study group was the following: 1-2 years showed 26.7%, 3-5 years 53.8%, and 6-9 years 13.3%. 2. Indications of laparoscopic examination were as follows: Secondary infertility in 35% of the cases, obscure tubal occlusion on previous H.S.G. in 25%, unknown origin in 11.7%, and the remaining cases included pelvic pain, small masses, dysmenorrhea, and uterine anomaly. The laparoscopic examination showed clearly the reproductive organs and the surrounding tissues in the pelvic cavity. The abnormal tubal findings there revealed were tuberculous salpingitis and hydrosalpinx in 10% each, endometriosis and peritubabl adhesions in 6.7% each, biconuate uterus in 3.3%. The remaining 58.3% of the cases showed normal findings. Laparoscopic observation for possible myoma nodules, streak ovary, and peritubal adhesions was also done at this time. 3. Comparative tubal findings in combined H.S.G. and laparoscopic examination revealed the following. Bilateral tubal occlusion was present in 14% (7cases) on laparoscopic examination but on H.S.G. 38% (19 cases) were noted. However, tubal occlusion and peritubal adhesions were found in 26% (13 cases) upon laparoscopy and only 8% (4 cases) on H.S.G. examination alone. Normal pelvic findings were present in 60% (27 cases).
