Discussion on acupuncture treatment of premature ovarian insufficiency from "kidney⁃tiangui⁃chongren⁃uterus" reproductive axis and "xuanfu theory"
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a clinical syndrome caused by the decline or even loss of ovarian function in women before the age of 40, and its incidence is rising. At present, there are no curative drugs for treating POI, and hormone replacement therapy is prone to relapse after drug withdrawal and has certain side effects. Acupuncture therapy has unique advantages in treating POI with less adverse reactions. The "kidney-tiangui-chongren-uterus" reproductive axis and xuanfu theory play a key role in the prevention and treatment of gynecological diseases. Starting from the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology, taking the reproductive axis as the main line and basing on the xuanfu theory, the treatment attaches attention to regulating the functions of the organs and opening the depression of xuanfu, in order to provide a novel thinking of syndrome differentiation for acupuncture in the treatment of POI.
