Treatment Progress in Diminished Ovarian Reserve: Western and Chinese Medicine

Qiao-Li Zhang et al. Chin J Integr Med. 2023 Apr.

Abstract

Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), generally defined as a decreased number or quality of oocytes, has a significant impact on quality of life and fertility in women. In recent years, the incidence of DOR has been increasing and the ages of patients are younger. The search for an effective DOR treatment has emerged as one of the preeminent research topics in reproductive health. An effective DOR therapy would improve ovarian function, fertility, and quality of life in patients. In this review we evaluated DOR treatment progress both in Western medicine and Chinese medicine, and elucidated the characteristics of each treatment.

Keywords: Chinese medicine; Western medicine; diminished ovarian reserve; treatment.
