Based On The Theory Of "Below The Nose Are The Bladder And Uterus" In Neijing,Exploring The Relationship Between Philtrum And Ovarian Tumor

Objective: On the basis of the theory of“Below the nose are the bladder and uterus ”in Neijing,to observe,measure and analyze the morphological characteristics of ovarian tumor patients and healthy person,and to explore the internal relationship between the two.Preliminary discussion on the formation mechanism of Philtrum provides a new method for the early detection and early intervention of ovarian tumors.At the same time,on the basis of inheriting and verifying the theory of Neijing,the content of facial inspection in gynecology of traditional Chinese medicine is enriched.Methods: This study was divided into two groups: The observation group consisted of 35 patients who met the diagnostic criteria and inclusion criteria for ovarian tumor,and the control group consisted of 35 healthy women without abnormal physical examination.We observed and measured their Philtrum length,upper width,lower width,depth,skew,pleat,convex,concave and length of the left middle finger respectively.The morphological characteristics of patients with ovarian tumor were analyzed based on the measured data and observed abnormal morphologies.Results: 1.There was statistically significant difference between the observation group and the control group(P<0.01),and the upper width of the observation group was higher than that of the control group;There was no significant difference between the observation group and the control group in length,width and depth(P>0.05).There was statistically significant difference in structure distribution between the observation group and the control group(P<0.01).In the observation group,there were29 cases,accounting for 82.86% of the total,which were concave(12)> pleat(8)> shallow flat(4)> splayed(3)> skew(2)> convex(0).There were 6 cases of abnormal structure in the control group,accounting for 17.14% of the total,which were concave(3)> shallow flat(2)> skew(1)> convex(0)= splayed(0)= pleat(0),Compared with normal healthy women,ovarian tumor patients were more likely to have structural abnormalities in the Philtrum,mainly manifested as concave and pleat.Shallow flat,splayed and skew were also common abnormalities.The difference of upper width between those with abnormal structures in Philtrum in the observation group and the control group was statistically significant(P<0.05).The upper width of those with abnormal structures in Philtrum of the observation group was larger than that of the control group.2.In both the observation group and the control group,there was statistically significant difference between the length of the left middle finger and the length of Philtrum(P<0.01),and the length of the left middle finger was longer than the length of Philtrum.Conclusion: 1.Most patients with ovarian tumor have abnormal changes in the structure of Philtrum and the characteristics of wide upper width on Philtrum.Among the abnormal structure types of Philtrum,the frequency of concave and pleat is the highest.2.The length of the left middle finger was longer than the Philtrum length in both the normal group and the ovarian tumor group.3.The relevant theories of Neijing are verified,and a new method is provided for the early detection of ovarian tumors.It has enriched the content of facial inspection of TCM gynecology and embodies the idea of preventing illness.
