Results: There was no significant difference in effect between the NYXR group and the control group in relief of dysmenorrhea and degradation of elevated plasma prostaglandin (χ2= 0. 71, P >0. 05). But there was significant difference between the two groups in curing infertility (χ2=14. 77, P < 0.01), and the effect of NYXR in regulating endocrine and immunity was significantly better than that of danazol.
