Objective: In order to investigate the ef- fect of Chinese herbal medicine for replenishing Kidney-Yin in treating hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenism anovulatory syndrome. Methods: 35 patients were treated with re- plenishing Kidney-Yin drugs for 3 months, ba- sic body temperature, ultrasonic examination and blood levels of sex hormones were taken for monitoring the ovulation, and changes of serum insulin, blood sugar as well as oral glu- cose tolerence test were observed before and af- ter treatment. Results:Twenty in 24 patients who completed the regular treatment showed

ovulation in the 43 menstrual cycles (59 .72%) . Seven of 17 (41. 2%)infert i le cases became pregnant within 6 months. After 3 months of treatment, blood sugar and insulin level significantly decreased but the latter was still slightly higher than normal level. Serum testosterone level decreased significantly and reached normal. Conclusion : Replenishing Kidney-Yin Drugs could provide a good micro- circumstance for ovarian follicular growth, and resulted in ovulation and pregnancy. The mechnism is remained to be further explored.
