The effectiveness of goreisan, for gestational edema and amniotic fluid decrease

Abstract

Ordinarily, 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.
