Ovarian Reserve Testing through the lens of TCM

Western medicine's job is to discern and analyze laboratory data to define the state of disease of a particular system. In reproductive medicine, the results of ovarian reserve testing define how "exhausted" a woman's potential is. Viewed through the lens of TCM, however, the results give rise to defining a new potential.

Quote from Randine Lewis's Blog

"....Within the last ten to 15 years, reproductive medicine has been making quite a fuss over high FSH levels. Chinese medicine doesn't focus so much on the unqualified meaning of laboratory values like Western medicine does; we view lab results energetically according to what is behind them, rather than providing meaning to the absolute numerical value.

The body energetically views the ovaries as "essence", an elemental potential, like the primordial follicles within them. Follicles are only potential until they begin to interact with their internal environment, which is responding to cues coming from our interpretation of our external environment. All of this is subject to change, when we change our internal environment, and our response to our external environment.
Although Western medicine views the reproductive system as an ever-deteriorating disease process waiting for intervention, Chinese medicine employs a different lens. We view the body/mind/spirit as an ever adaptive system, which, when given appropriate environmental cues, has a miraculous ability to manifest its highest potential...."
