Summary

This study looks at whether a traditional Chinese herbal formula, Guishen Yijing, can help women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) — a condition where the ovaries have fewer eggs than expected for a woman's age. Researchers will review medical records of 126 women who took the herbal decoction for three months as part of their routine care. They will measure changes in hormone levels and symptom scores to see if ovarian function improves.
