      There are more and more cases of infertility in modern women. There are many reasons for this. Some are due to physical weakness and insufficient Qi and blood, some are too obese, and some are due to physical injuries. So, how does Chinese medicine view the causes of female infertility?

      The kidney is the foundation of innateness and stores the essence. Kidney failure of the essence (yin and yang) in the kidneys dominates the growth and development of the human body and the maturation and decline of reproductive functions. Kidney deficiency is also closely related to uterine dysplasia. Kidney deficiency can be divided into two types: kidney-yang deficiency and kidney-yin deficiency.

      (3) Phlegm and dampness

      (4)Damp and hot

      Due to menstruation, sexual intercourse, other examinations, and surgeries, dampness evil takes advantage of the deficiency and attacks, causing accumulation and heat. Damage to the Chong and Rendu belt may lead to infertility. Or due to dampness and heat in the liver meridian, the abnormal meridian may be deficient, and it may also be impossible to ingest semen and become pregnant.

      (5) Blood stasis

      During menstruation or after surgery, blood stasis remains, or wind and cold invade, interfering with the pulses of the cells, resulting in blood stasis; or liver qi stagnation, Chong Ren stops blood stasis, blood stasis is blocked in the body, and the two essences cannot interact, resulting in infertility.
