Abstract

Kushima and Hasegawa have conducted rather a complete research on vegetative syndromes found in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. In their study, they proposed the definition of vegetative syndrome and analyzed its pathology. The author's work in this paper is to add some data to their study. In the field of obstetrical clinic, although any autonomic function test is not conducted in most cases of pregnancy, about 20% of pregnant women are accompanied by some kind of autonomic imbalance which tends to result in dystonia. Much is already known regarding vegetative syndromes in the women with menopausal syndrome, but the author likes to emphasize that the process of gynecological disorders, such as inflammation, tumors and operation, often induces autonomic imbalance in the form of complaints.
