Evaluation of the effectiveness of herbal composition (fennel, anise and bamboo cane) in the treatment of polycystic ovaries

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine disorders. The most common cause of infertility is ovulation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of plant composition (fennel, anise and Bamboo Cane) in the treatment of polycystic ovaries. This double-blind, randomized placebo study was performed in the years 1300-1400. In this study, a controlled clinical trial on 20 patients with PCO referred to Sajjad Clinic in Tehran was randomly divided into two groups. The first group was treated with 19 drops of plant extract (fennel, anise, Bamboo Cane) once a day and the second group were treated with metformin and 1000 mg daily. The duration of treatment was 2 weeks for the first group and 3 months for the second group. The results of sonography showed that in the group receiving the compound (fennel, anise and Bamboo Cane) 50% of the subjects, the appearance of the ovaries was free of cysts. The results of jujube consumption with metformin in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome seem to be similar. Complications of metformin (nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea) were reported.
