Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What could be the reason for not being able to conceive after being married for many years?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) believes that infertility is primarily caused by insufficient congenital kidney qi and disharmony of qi and blood in the viscera. According to TCM theory, infertility is classified into types such as kidney deficiency (yang deficiency, yin deficiency), liver qi stagnation, phlegm-dampness, blood stasis, and others. Different types should be treated with different dietary and therapeutic methods. The cost of in vitro fertilization (IVF) can be tens of thousands of yuan. The occurrence of female infertility not only affects a woman's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo an ultrasound examination in the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
