Clinical Evaluation of Integrated Chinese-Western Medicine for Infertility With DOR Patients in Women Achieving Natural Pregnancy

This study aims to evaluate the superiority of an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine regimen ("Xiehe DOR Bushen Tongzhi Formula" + ovulation induction therapy with ovulation monitoring and timed intercourse) compared to standard treatment alone (placebo + ovulation induction therapy with ovulation monitoring and timed intercourse) in improving the natural cumulative clinical pregnancy rate in infertile patients with kidney deficiency-type diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).
