Liver-Softening and Clearing-Transforming Decoction for liver cirrhosis male sexual dysfunction syndrome.Methods Totally 130cases of liver cirrhosis male sexual dysfunction syndrome were randomized into the treatment group and control group according to treatment order
with 65in each.The treatment group was given modified Kidney-Warming
Liver-Softening and Clearing-Transforming Decoction one dosage perday
a half dose each time and twice daily.The control group was given Anluo Huaxian Pill
6g each time and twice daily.The clinical efficacy was observed in both groups after 8-week treatment.The symptoms such as sexual dysfunction
fatigue
anorexia and liver discomfort were observed in both groups after treatment.The levels of total bilirubin(TBIL)
albumin(ALB)
aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and serum testosterone(T)were detected in the 4th and 8th week of treatment respectively.Results The total effective rate in the treatment group was 81.54%
which was superior to 55.38% in the control group(P< 0.01).The numbers of patients with symptoms such as sexual dysfunction
fatigue
anorexia and liver discomfort were significantly lowered in both groups after treatment(P<0.01)
especially the decline of sexual dysfunction
fatigue and anorexia in the treatment group(P<0.05or P<0.01).The levels of TBIL
ALB and AST were significantly improved in both groups in the 4th and 8th week of treatment(P<0.01).The T value was significantly increased after 4-week and 8-week treatment respectively in the treatment group but just after 8-week treatment in the control group(P<0.01).The improvement of TBIL
ALB
AST and T in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group after 4-week or 8-week treatment(P<0.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion Kidney-Warming
