摘要

Premature ovarian failure (POF) refers to ovarian failure in patients before the age of 40, which is manifested by aseries of symptoms such as hot flashes, hyperhidrosis, facial flushing, low sexual desire, amenorrhea, etc.Gynecological endocrine tests show that estrogen level of patients decreases while follicle stimulating hormonelevel increases, affecting pregnancy of women of childbearing age and seriously causing changes in the quality oflife of patients. The causes of POF are complex with poor therapeutic effect, which seriously endangers thephysical and mental health of patients. This paper summarized the a general description of Chinese medicine (CM)and Western medicine (WM) treating POF from the aspects of clinical application according to the existingliterature. Although WM can significantly contribute to the treatment of POF, the side effects are serious bylong-term application. CM has unique advantages, including reduced adverse reactions and higher patientcompliance. It may also fill in the shortcomings of WM in the intermittent period treatment of POF. Thecombination of Chinese and western medicine has proven to become an important direction for POF treatment.
