Patient's question:
Female luteal phase dysfunction. I got married last year, and we haven't been able to get pregnant until now. My husband and I are very puzzled. We haven't been using any form of contraception, just hoping to conceive naturally. Later, we went to the infertility department of the hospital for check-ups. The doctor said that my husband's were all fine, but I have luteal phase dysfunction.Doctor's answer:
The corpus luteum is an important substance in the female body, produced during the formation of the follicle, and plays a crucial role in the female reproductive process. If a woman experiences incomplete corpus luteum function during pregnancy, it can lead to miscarriage. Many women who suffer from habitual miscarriage are found, upon examination, to have incomplete corpus luteum function.Guidance and Recommendations: From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the primary cause of incomplete corpus luteum function in women is insufficient kidney yin, deficiency of kidney yang, and stagnation of heat in the liver channel. Therefore, treatment primarily focuses on addressing liver and kidney function. A good choice for herbal medicine is Yu Gong Pei Lin Wan.
