摘要: 总结丛慧芳教授基于和法论治女性更年期综合征临床经验。丛教授认为女性更年期综合征以肾虚为本，少阳枢机不利、阴阳失和为关键，波及肝、脾、心多脏，形成“多脏失和、虚实夹杂”的复杂病机。治疗上以“和”为核心，立足和解枢机、燮理阴阳，调和肝脾、分消湿热，交通心肾、调和神志等治法，在女性更年期患者的诊疗中取得了较好的临床疗效。

Abstract: This paper summarizes the clinical experience of Professor Cong Huifang in treating female menopausal syndrome based on the harmonizing method. Professor Cong posits that while the root of female menopausal syndrome lies in kidney deficiency, the key pathological mechanism is the stagnation of the Shaoyang pivot, leading to disharmony between yin and yang. This imbalance subsequently involves multiple organs, including the liver, spleen, and heart, forming a complex pathogenesis characterized by “multi-organ disharmony with deficiency-excess complexity.” In terms of treatment, Professor Cong centers on the “harmonizing method,” employing strategies such as harmonizing the pivots to regulate yin and yang, harmonizing the liver and spleen to resolve damp-heat, and restoring communication between the heart and kidney to calm the mind. This approach has achieved significant clinical efficacy in the management of menopausal patients.
