Differentiation and treatment of diminished ovarian reserve based on the theory of "four most important characteristics of the kidney qi"
The theory of the "four most important characteristics of the kidney
qi"
is a syndrome differentiation concept centered on kidney
qi
, proposed by national TCM master CHAI Songyan. The fundamental cause of diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is deficiency of kidney
qi
, with the main pathogenesis characterized by depletion of
yin
and blood and insufficiency of the "sea of blood", while dysregulation of the liver serves as an important contributing factor. Under the guidance of the principle that "the kidney requires the greatest protection", treatment emphasizes tonifying the kidney and replenishing essence, nourishing
yin
and blood, and regulating the five
Zang
organs in a balanced manner. At the same time, therapeutic strategies are tailored according to the age-related characteristics of women at different stages. In clinical practice, careful assessment of pathogenesis and flexible modification based on syndrome differentiation are applied, yielding rapid and marked therapeutic effects.
