POI patients who taking Kuntai capsule combined with hormone therapyKuntai CapsuleKuntai capsule was taken at the same dose as Kuntai group on the basis of hormone therapy for 3 courses.
Subclinical POI patients who taking Kuntai capsuleKuntai CapsuleSubclinical POI patients in this group which with Kuntai capsule intervention. This group is a self-controlled experiment before and after treatment
POI patients who accepting hormone therapyFemostonThe estrogen and progesterone sequential regimen was adopted. The drug was estradiol tablets/estradiol didroxyprogesterone tablets (Femoston). Red tablets (estradiol, 2mg/d) were taken in the first 14 days, and gray tablets (estradiol, 2mg/d, dydrogesterone,10 mg/d) were taken in the last 14 days. 28 days was a course of treatment, and 3 courses of treatment were taken.
