Can insufficient ovarian reserve be restored?

The ovaries are important reproductive organs of women. If there are certain problems with the ovaries, it will not only affect women's health, but also cause infertility, causing great trouble to their lives. If the ovarian reserve function is insufficient, it is likely to cause women to have difficulty conceiving and suffer from infertility. So, how to treat insufficient ovarian reserve?

Due to disease, the primordial follicles in the ovaries or other important tissues in the ovarian cortex are over-consumed or destroyed, which can lead to an abnormal or premature decline in ovarian reserve. This condition is called inadequate ovarian reserve. Clinically, it often manifests as shortened menstrual cycles, reduced menstrual flow or amenorrhea before the age of 40, and may even cause infertility, hot flashes and sweating and other menopausal symptoms, causing serious harm to women's health. When ovarian reserve function is insufficient, there are two types of treatment: Western medicine treatment and Chinese medicine conditioning.

2. Western medicine treatment

The main treatment method is hormone replacement therapy, and for patients who want to have children, "in vitro fertilization" technology is used to help them conceive. However, the success rate is low and the long-term efficacy is poor. Overstimulation of the ovaries often exacerbates the decline in their reserve function. There are also contraindications such as hepatobiliary diseases and thromboembolism, short-term side effects such as uterine bleeding and weight gain, and long-term side effects and risks such as endometrial cancer.

Traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in treating insufficient ovarian reserve function, which falls into the category of "amenorrhea", "oligomenorrhea", "late menstruation" and "infertility" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the kidney is the foundation of human nature, stores essence and is the basis for human growth, development and reproduction. When women reach a certain stage of development, their kidney qi is strong, their tiangui is mature, and their Chong and Ren meridians are unobstructed, then they will have the possibility of menstruation and pregnancy. If the kidney qi is insufficient and the Chong and Ren meridians are damaged, diseases will occur. It can be seen from this that women's menstruation and conception are closely related to the strength and weakness of kidney qi and the surplus and deficiency of kidney essence, so kidney tonification is the main method of treatment.
