The study group (45 cases) was treated with traditional Chinese medicine cycle therapy combined with metformin for 3 months,the control group (45 cases) was treated with metformin treatment for 3 months, the efficacy and safety of the two groups were compared, of the two groups of patients before and after treatment of sex hormones, fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), changes in ovulation rate were analyzed. Results After treatment, the clinical symptom scores of menstrual thinning, amenorrhea, backache, cold, libido, hairy, urination, and stool symptoms in the two groups decreased (P < 0.05), and the clinical symptom scores in study group were lower than the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, E2, FSH, ovulation rate in two groups increased (P < 0.05), LH, T, LH/FSH, FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR in study group decreased (P < 0.05), LH, FPG, FINS, HOMA-IR in control group decreased (P < 0.05), T, FSH, LH/FSH in control group had no change (P > 0.05). After treatment, the LH, T, LH/FSH, FPG, FINS and HOMA-IR in study were lower than the control group (P < 0.05). The effective rate of treatment in the study group was higher than the control group (P < 0.01), and the incidence rate of adverse reaction was lower than the control group (P < 0.05).
