Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. How do traditional Chinese medicine treat female infertility?Doctor's answer:
Hello, friend, regarding how traditional Chinese medicine treats female infertility, replenishing the mingmen is a traditional method, also known as replenishing the true yin and true yang. So, how should it be done? First, we must avoid harming the mingmen. Eating cold and cooling foods will damage the true yin and true yang. Second, during the menstrual period, it’s important to guard against cold. Wind and rain can both cause damage to the true yin and true yang. Third, we should pay attention to diet, exercise, and deep sleep. The liver governs blood storage, and deep sleep nourishes qi and blood. That is, we can replenish the mingmen through proper daily diet and lifestyle, rather than relying on herbal supplements. Because if the wrong herbs are prescribed, they can do more harm to the body. We cannot do without staple foods, and the types we eat should be varied.
