ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Decreased ovarian reserve function, also known as premature ovarian failure, is characterized by a decrease in the level of estrogen in the body, resulting in a series of low-estrogen symptoms that adversely affect the physical and mental health of patients.
Research motivation
From the direction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to find ways to treat the decline of ovarian reserve.
Research objectives
This study aimed to observe the clinical manifestations of Kuntai capsule combined with Fenmotong in treating decline of ovarian reserve function.
Research methods
Patients (130) with decreased ovarian reserve function, were divided into two groups: The FMT group, and the observation group, in which patients were treated with Kuntai capsules. The clinical indexes including TCM symptom score and uterine artery blood flow parameters were recorded, and the total effective rate of the two groups was counted.
Research results
The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the FMT group (P < 0.05). Secondary symptoms decreased in both groups, and the scores of primary and secondary symptoms in the observation group were lower than those in the femoston group (P < 0.05).The observation group was more conducive to promoting uterine artery blood circulation, improving ovarian blood supply, preventing ovarian atrophy, and facilitating follicular formation.
Research conclusions
Effect of Kuntai capsule combined with femoston on ovarian reserve function decline is better than that of femoston alone.
Research perspectives
Therefore, we did not observe pregnancy and delivery rates for the patients after treatment. Therefore, in future clinical studies, patients with fertility problems can be screened to further explore whether Kuntai capsules combined with FMT could increase fertility rates in the treatment of ovarian reserve function decline.
