Abstract:

The diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is one of the main causes of infertility caused by ovarian factors. The clinical treatment with Western Medicine mainly relies on the oral drugs to improve the ovarian reserve function, artificial hormone cycle replacement and assisted reproductive technology to help pregnancy. The method of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthen Spleen Therapy in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has many advantages in improving the ovarian reserve function, such as low adverse reactions, long-lasting curative effect and diversified methods. In this article, two cases of DOR patients were reported who were successfully treated with the comprehensive treatment of Tonifying Kidney and Strengthen Spleen Therapy of TCM on the basis of conventional Western Medicine. We emphasized the importance of formulating a targeted and individualized treatment plan of the integrated TCM and Western Medicine for solving difficult diseases. This article provides a new evidence of the comprehensive treatment with TCM and Western Medicine in DOR patients.
