Abstract To investigate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion at Bliao point combined with dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for treating infertility women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Methods: A total of 108 infertility women with POI 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups (54 cases in each group) from January 2018 to December. The women in the control group were given treatment of luteal support combined with DHEA, and the women in the observation group were given treatment of luteal support and DHEA combined with acupuncture and moxibustion at Bliao point. The values of ovarian reserve function, uterine artery blood flow, endometrial thickness before and after treatment, and the pregnant situation of the women in 6 months after treatment were observed and compared between the two groups. Results: The total effective rate of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the women in the control group (P＜0.05). The anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) level and the total ovarian volume (TOV) value, and the number of antral follicle count (AFC) of the women after treatment in the two groups had increased significantly, and which of the women in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group (P＜0.05). The values of PI, RI and S/D of the women after treatment in the two groups had decreased significantly, and which of the women in the observation group were significantly lower than those of the women in the control group (P＜0.05). The endometrial thickness of the women after treatment in the two groups had increased significantly, and which of the women in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the women in the control group. The type A of endometrium and the pregnancy rate of the women in the observation group were significantly higher than those of the women in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture and moxibustion at Bliao point combined with DHEA for treating the infertility women with POI can further enhance their ovarian reserve function, improve their blood flow of the uterine artery, and promote the growth of their endometrium, thereby increasing the natural pregnancy rate of these women.
