Brief summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the real-world effectiveness of Guishen Yijing Formula in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The main question it aims to answer is: Does Guishen Yijing Formula improve ovarian reserve function in women with DOR after 3 months of treatment? Medical records of participants who received Guishen Yijing Formula as part of their routine clinical care for DOR will be reviewed. Changes in anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and symptom scores before and after treatment will be analyzed.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Serum Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) LevelFrom baseline to 3 months after treatment initiationChange in serum AMH level before and after 3 months of treatment, measured by blood test.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Serum Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)From baseline to 3 months after treatment initiationBlood samples are collected before and after treatment.
Serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH)From baseline to 3 months after treatment initiationBlood samples are collected before and after treatment.
FSH/LH RatioFrom baseline to 3 months after treatment initiationChange in FSH/LH ratio before and after treatment.
Serum Estradiol (E2)From baseline to 3 months after treatment initiationBlood samples are collected before and after treatment.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Scorebefore and 1 month after the treatmentThis syndrome score evaluates three primary symptoms and ten secondary symptoms related to traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation. Total scores range from 0 to 48, with higher scores indicating more severe syndrome manifestations and a worse clinical outcome.
