Summary

This study tests whether ShouTai Pills, a traditional Chinese herbal remedy, can improve egg quality in women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) who are undergoing IVF. Researchers will analyze follicular fluid to identify biological markers that predict who might benefit. The goal is to see if the pills increase the number of mature eggs retrieved and improve hormone levels.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ShouTai Pills, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine
What this could lead to
If the pills improve egg maturity and hormone levels, this could point toward a new treatment option for women with diminished ovarian reserve.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with a small sample size. The placebo effect is possible, and the herbal formula's mechanism is not well understood.
