摘　　要：Based on extensive historical data,clinical experience,and modern scientific research,we discuss the relationship between meridians and viscera of decreased ovarian reserve(OR)from the perspective of"preventive treatment of disease"by acupuncture.It is believed that the endogenous protection mechanism of acupuncture in"preventive treatment of disease"lies in harmonizing Yin and Yang and dredging meridians;stimulating righteousness and rejecting the evil outside;preventing disease;co-cultivating body and spirit,and regulating emotions.The incidence ofOR dysfunction is closely related to the uterus-related meridians and viscera.The mechanism of acupuncture treatment of OR dysfunction may be related to reproductive endocrine hormone levels,ovarian tissue morphology,immune system,granulosa cell apoptosis,and related signal transduction pathways.The clinical effect of acupuncture treatment of diminished OR is reflected in improving menstruation and ovulation;improving OR function,promoting pregnancy;improving local ovarian microenvironment;improving negative emotions,improving quality of life,and thus affecting pregnancy outcomes.This article summarizes the mechanism of action and clinical effect of acupuncture in the treatment of decreased OR function based on recent findings,analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of acupuncture in the treatment of disease,and provides the rationale for the clinical application of acupuncture in the treatment of decreased OR function.
