This case study discusses the treatment of a 39-year-old policewoman diagnosed with premature ovarian failure (POF) and a history of infertility. Despite undergoing multiple cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF), the patient faced challenges due to low ovarian reserve and poor egg quality, exacerbated by a history of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, uterine fibroids, and the surgical removal of one ovary. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was employed, focusing on nourishing kidney and liver function, regulating Qi and blood circulation, and harmonizing the Chong and Ren vessels. The treatment included a combination of herbal prescriptions and acupuncture, aiming to improve overall reproductive health, egg quality, and endometrial receptivity. Over a three-month period, the patient experienced significant improvements in menstrual regularity, reduction of menopausal symptoms, and ultimately achieved a successful pregnancy. The case illustrates the potential efficacy of TCM in treating POF and enhancing fertility outcomes, highlighting the holistic approach of integrating Jing, Qi, and Shen for optimal therapeutic benefits.
