Abstract:
Premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)is a disease that seriously affects the health and life of women,which is also one of the main causes of female infertility.The incidence of POI is increasing in recent years.The diagnostic criteria of POI are not uniform,and different diagnostic criteria have inconsistent thresholds for various indicators.Strict diagnostic criteria are more conducive to early detection and treatment of POI.At present,complementary and alternative therapies such as traditional Chinese medicine,acupuncture and moxibustion are widely used in the treatment of POI.This article reviewed the recent studies on the complementary and alternative therapy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of POI,and finds that the dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is based on the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory and puts forward corresponding treatment plans for different dialectical types.For example,treatment from the kidney,tonifying kidney filling essence,regulating chongren;Treatment from the liver,soothing the liver,regulating qi,nourishing blood and softening the liver;Treatment from the heart and spleen,nourishing Yangming,tonifying the spleen and nourishing the heart.In terms of acupuncture treatment,regulating menstruation and promoting pregnancy and regulating the conception vessel and toning the governor vessel and toning the kidney are often used to treat POI.In addition,moxibustion regulates body function by stimulating the bladder meridian and conception vessel and governor vessel acupoints.Other methods,such as ear acupoint bean-pressing,acupoint thread-embedding and acupoint injection,have also shown potential in the treatment of POI.This article summarizes the role and characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of POI,in order to provide ideas and basis for clinical treatment of POI.
