"New Concepts in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Endometriosis."
Endometriosis, abbreviated as EMT, refers to the growth of endometrial tissue (glandular and stromal) outside the uterine cavity and myometrium. Ectopic endometrium can affect any part of the body, but it most commonly occurs in the pelvic organs and peritoneum, especially the ovaries and uterosacral ligaments. The main manifestation is progressively worsening secondary dysmenorrhea. While endometriosis is benign in histology, it exhibits characteristics such as proliferation, infiltration, metastasis, and recurrence similar to malignant tumors. Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease, primarily affecting women of reproductive age, with the majority of cases occurring between ages 25 and 45. Clinical incidence is approximately 10% to 15%, and there has been a noticeable increase in recent years. It is a complex condition with a significant impact on women's physical and mental health, and it often exhibits a familial genetic tendency. In TCM, it is associated with a blood stasis constitution. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine's ability to invigorate blood circulation, dispel stasis, and detoxify makes it effective in treating endometriosis. Prof. Fang Lian will present an in-depth lecture titled "New Concepts in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Endometriosis." She will cover the clinical identification of endometriosis, TCM treatment methods, and long-term clinical management.
Prof. Fang Lian has dedicated over 40 years to clinical practice, teaching, and research in TCM Gynecology. She leads the first TCM team in China to apply traditional Chinese medicine in assisted reproductive technology, achieving pregnancy rates of 55% to 60%. Her team has fulfilled the dreams of more than ten thousan"New Concepts in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Endometriosis."

“子宫内膜异位症中医药治疗新理念”授课简介
子宫内膜异位症（endometriosis，EMT）简称内异症，是指子宫内膜组织（腺体和间质）生长在子宫腔与子宫肌层以外的部位。异位的内膜可侵犯全身任何部位，但大多数位于盆腔脏器和壁腹膜，以卵巢、宫骶韧带最常见。主要表现为逐渐加重的继发性痛经。 内异症在组织学上虽然是良性，但却有增生、浸润、转移及复发等类似恶性肿瘤的特点。 子宫内膜异位症是一种常见的妇科疾病。多见于生育年龄妇女，以25～45岁多见。临床发生率约为10%～15%。近年来内异症的发病率呈明显上升趋势，是疑难病，也是长期影响妇女身心健康的疾病，且有家族遗传倾向。中医认为该病与血瘀体质有关，中医药祛瘀解毒结合辩证治疗对子宫内膜异位症具有良好的作用。连方教授将以《子宫内膜异位症中医药治疗新理念》为题，将对子宫内膜异位症的临床辩识，中医药如何治疗及临床如何长期管理进行详尽讲授。
连方教授，从事中医妇科临床，教学，科研40余年，带领的团队是中国第一个在中医系统开展中医药在辅助生殖技术中应用的团队，并获得55%到60%的妊娠率，帮助万余例不孕夫妇圆了求子之梦，帮助50余万妇女解除疾苦，获得患者高度赞誉。
New Advances in the Differential Diagnosis and TCM Syndrome Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS).
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and metabolic disorders among reproductive-aged women, considered a constitutional disease in TCM. It is generally believed that the incidence of PCOS is approximately 6% to 10% among reproductive-aged women. PCOS typically manifests during adolescence, characterized by clinical or biochemical evidence of elevated androgens, persistent anovulation, and ovarian polycystic changes. Common symptoms include hirsutism, acne, menstrual irregularities, and infertility, often accompanied by insulin resistance and obesity. In addition to these, PCOS increases the risk of long-term complications such as diabetes, hypertension, and endometrial cancer, significantly impacting patients' quality of life.
Traditional Chinese medicine has proven to be effective in regulating constitution and providing targeted treatment for PCOS. Prof. Fang Lian, a National Renowned TCM Practitioner and Qi Huang scholar at the Obstetrics and Gynecology Center of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital, will deliver an in-depth lecture titled "New Advances in the Differential Diagnosis and TCM Syndrome Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)." She will cover the clinical identification of PCOS, the methods of TCM treatment, and long-term clinical management. Prof. Fang Lian has dedicated over 40 years to clinical practice, teaching, and research in TCM Gynecology. She leads the first TCM team in China to apply traditional Chinese medicine in assisted reproductive technology, achieving pregnancy rates of 55% to 60%.

多囊卵巢综合征（PCOS）是育龄期妇女最常见的内分泌代谢紊乱性疾病。在中医讲是体质性疾病。一般认为，在育龄妇女中发病率约6%～10%。 该病多在青春期发病，以雄激素过高的临床或生化表现、持续无排卵、卵巢多囊改变为特征，表现为多毛、痤疮、月经异常、不孕等，常伴有胰岛素抵抗和肥胖。除此之外，PCOS发生糖尿病、高血压、子宫内膜癌等远期并发症的机会比正常人增加，严重影响患者的生命质量。
中医药对体质调节具有良好的作用，对多囊卵巢综合症具有良好的对症疗效。中国名中医，岐黄学者，山东中医药大学附属医院妇产生殖中心连方教授将以《多囊卵巢综合征的辩病与中医辩证治疗新进展》为题，将多囊卵巢综合征的临床辩识，中医药如何治疗及临床如何长期管理进行详尽讲授。
