Nursing Experience of Fire Dragon Moxibustion as Adjuvant Therapy for a Patient with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency and Infertility
This paper summarizes the nursing efficacy and experience of fire dragon moxibustion as adjuvant therapy for a patient with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and infertility. On the basis of routine nursing, fire dragon moxibustion was administered to warm the kidney and reinforce yang, regulate and tonify the thoroughfare and conception vessels based on TCM syndrome differentiation, which effectively improved the patient’s ovarian function. This case suggests that fire dragon moxibustion has positive significance in enhancing ovarian function and promoting pregnancy in POI patients, reflecting the application value of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine in the field of reproductive health.
