ObjectiveOrdinarily, a diuretic uniformly performs diuresis of body water and decreases it. When a diuretic is used for gestational edema, blood vessel dehydration and amniotic fluid are expected to decrease. This may be rather harmful for the gestational prognosis. Goreisan's mechanism of efficacy is different from that of ordinary diuretics. The results of treating gestational edema and amniotic fluid reduction with goreisan were studied. Whether goreisan is helpful for improving gestational prognosis was studied.Clinical resultsGoreisan is effective in the treatment of gestational edema. During edematous treatment, goreisan exhibits a diuretic effect. After edema has improved, goreisan does not exhibit a compulsory diuresis effect. These effects were ascertained by examining the change in the expectant mother's weight. Goreisan appeared to normalize the gross body water volume. In the presence of edema, a reduction in the amniotic fluid volume was often apparent after 36 weeks of gestation. Treatment of gestational edema by goreisan prevented the reduction of the amniotic fluid volume. Maximum vertical pocket (MVP) changes before and after treatment with goreisan for oligohydramnios were studied. Goreisan prospectively appeared to exhibit a therapeutic effect on oligohydramnios.ConclusionGoreisan contributes to improvement in the prognosis of the course of gestation. Goreisan, rather than diuretics, corrects the maldistribution of body water. Only Kampo medicine has these activities for water metabolism. Ordinary diuretics cannot be substituted for these medicines.

Background. Lower-limb lymphedema (LLL) is a chronic and progressive complication of gynecologic cancer treatment, including pelvic lymphadenectomy. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effect of goreisan, a traditional Japanese medicine, which has been used for hydrostatic modulation on patients with LLL. Methods. Patients diagnosed with LLL in our hospital in 2018 were included and principally treated with complex decongestive therapy (CDT), including elastic clothing and lymph drainage. The patients who received a combination therapy of CDT and goreisan (CDT-G group) were prescribed goreisan extract granules, with a dose of 7.5 g per os daily in three doses. Patients who were not prescribed goreisan received CDT alone (CDT group). The severity of lymphedema was evaluated by the estimated limb volume calculated by limb circumferences and the ratio of extracellular water (ECW) to total body water (TBW). Results. Nineteen women with LLL after pelvic lymphadenectomy were included in the study. The number of patients in the CDT and CDT-G groups was 8 and 11, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between the CDT and CDT-G groups in terms of patient characteristics and severity of LLL before treatment. Reduction in ECW/TBW in the CDT-G group (in the whole body and the affected lower limb) after the intervention was significantly more remarkable than that in the CDT group. Conclusions. Goreisan-based Japanese herbal therapy may be effective in patients with LLL after retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy.
