Abstract The incidence of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) has been increasing annually among younger patients, making it a challenging issue in the field of reproductive health worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated certain therapeutic effects and advantages in addressing the decline of ovarian reserve function, particularly in improving the quantity and quality of oocytes. However, there remains a lack of systematic promotion for the integrated use of TCM and Western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of DOR. According to the standardized management methods from the China Association of Chinese Medicine, our project team aimed to address the issues of menstrual disorders, sex hormone imbalances, and fertility decline associated with reduced ovarian reserve function. By combining ancient and modern literature with insights from experienced TCM practitioners, we developed an integrated diagnosis and treatment plan. This was achieved through expert interviews and questionnaires, employing methods that integrate TCM with Western approaches, including internal and external treatments as well as long-term adjustments. Our goal is to provide standardized guidance to clinicians for informed decision-making in DOR treatment.
