Objective To observe the effect of auricular-points sticking and pressing treatment on perimenopausal menstrual disorders.Methods Totally 276 patients with perimenopausal menstrual disorders were randomized into auricular-point group and control group with 138 in each.The auricular-point group accepted auricular-points sticking and pressing treatment with vaccaria seed at Endocrine

Internal genitals

Sympathetic nerve

and Shenmen.The patients were asked to press the points 3 times per day.The control group was treated with sticking and pressing at the same auricular-points but without vaccaria seed.Ten days as one course

3 courses in total.Before and after treatment

both groups were evaluated with Kupperman score and their serum estradiol（E2）

follicle stimulating hormone（FSH）

and luteinizing hormone（LH） were measured respectively.Results After treatment

the Kupperman score of the auricular-point group（3.25±3.95） was significantly lower than that of the control group（4.28±3.87

P < 0.05）.The level of E2

FSH

and LH of both groups was not changed significantly after treatment（P>0.05）.Conclusion Auricular-points sticking and pressing treatment has influence on Kupperman scores of the patients with perimenopausal menstrual disorders

but the effect is possibly not related with regulation of sex hormones.
