ABSTRACT

Follicular maldevelopment is one of the most common causes of infertility and recurrent spontaneous abortions in women, and the complexity of the mechanisms involved in follicular maldevelopment makes the treatment of this condition difficult. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine has accumulated a wealth of experience in the treatment of follicular maldevelopment, and has unique advantages and characteristics in treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the etiology of follicular maldevelopment is mainly in the kidneys, and is closely related to the liver, spleen and meridians, with pathological factors such as phlegm-dampness and blood stasis. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is mainly carried out from syndrome differentiation and treatment, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, Chinese medicine cycle therapy, Point application therapy and Point catgut-embedding therapy. By combing and summarizing the research literature on traditional Chinese medicine for follicular maldevelopment, this article discusses the etiology and mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine for follicular maldevelopment and its current research status, in the hope of providing a useful reference for more in-depth research in the future.
