To fullyleverage the strengths of TCM, the department has developed proprietary herbalointments and preparations, including Wenjing Jiankun Ointment and WentongPowder. The department has led seven research projects at various levels,including those funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China(NSFC) and the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ourteam has published 34 high-impact papers, including 15 indexed in SCI.

Following the“Three Alls” service philosophy — all for patients, for all patients, and foreverything of patients — the department adheres to TCM’s holistic approach andsyndrome differentiation. Grounded in the “Chong-Ren Theory” from the NeiJing (Inner Canon of Huangdi), we emphasize the vital role of theliver, spleen, and kidneys in female physiology and pathology, aiming toachieve a dynamic balance in uterine storage and discharge. By integratingtraditional TCM with modern reproductive medicine, we have developed aneffective and TCM-featured “disease-syndrome-evidence-based” diagnosis andtreatment system.
