Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this case is to report the effects of oriental medicine on one patient with primary amenorrhea for endometrial preparation and implantation. Methods: A patient with primary amenorrhea had symptoms of sleep disorder, diarrhea, colpoxerosis. For preparing endometrium and implantation in oocyte donation after one previous failure, she was treated by twice a day herb medication for 75 days. And we observed the effects of treatments by improvement of symptoms and following up endometrial proliferation ultrasonography. After implantation, for maintaining pregnancy and live birth, she was also treated by twice a day herb medication for 45 days. Results: After treatments, Symptoms of sleep disorder, diarrhea, colpoxerosis were improved and the thickness of endometrium was prepared for implantation in oocyte donation. So she was pregnant and gave birth to a healthy baby 36 weeks later. Conclusions: This case shows that oriental medicine has its effective implementation for the implantational surroundings on patients with primary amenorrhea in oocyte donation programs.
