%X Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect of combined traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapy with acupoint injection and herbal patch application on patients with ovulatory dysfunction associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods: A total of 80 PCOS patients who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi University of Chinese Medicine between October 2022 and March 2024 were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into a control group (n = 40) and an observation group (n = 40). The control group received conventional Western medical treatments, while the observation group was administered TCM combined with acupoint injection and herbal patch application. Pre- and post-treatment conditions were compared between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the overall effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Hormone levels (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], luteinizing hormone [LH], estradiol [E2], and testosterone [T]) were compared before and after treatment. Both FSH, LH, and T decreased, while E2 increased in both groups; however, the decrease was more pronounced in the observation group for FSH, LH, and T, and the increase in E2 was higher in the observation group, with these differences being statistically significant (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no statistically significant difference in ovulation and pregnancy rates between the observation and control groups (P > 0.05). Following treatment, both ovulation and pregnancy rates increased in both groups, but the increase was more evident in the observation group, showing a statistically significant difference (P < 0.01). Conclusion: For patients with oligoovulation or anovulation due to PCOS, the combined use of TCM, acupoint injection, and herbal patch application appears to be effective in improving systemic symptoms and achieving notable clinical outcomes.
