Abstract:
Under the guidance of the theory of "kidney governing reproduction", this study demonstrated the mechanism of six types of ovulatory infertility caused by kidney deficiency and blood stasis, including anovulatory bleeding, polycystic ovary syndrome, hyperprolactinemia, luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome, luteal phase deficiency, and primary ovarian insufficiency. A series of studies have confirmed that integrated Chinese and western medicine can increase the responsiveness of the ovaries to gonadotropins and improve ovarian function by regulating the effects of estradiol(E_2), prolactin(PRL), and reducing follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH), luteinizing hormone(LH), progestin(P), and testosterone(T). It can also improve ovulation rate and pregnancy success rate by promoting follicle development, discharging, and synchronizing endometrial growth. This study illustrated the diagnosis and treatment of ovulatory infertility caused by kidney deficiency and blood stasis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the "disease-syndrome-symptom" research mode, and highlighted the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) idea of differentiating diseases based on syndromes and unique advantages of the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation, and interpreted TCM principle of "treating different diseases with the same method".
