Can fallopian tube adhesion be treated with traditional Chinese medicine?

Patient's question:

Tubal blockage, but afraid of surgery, what Chinese medicine can cure it? I also want to know what other methods can help get pregnant! Thank you, doctor

Doctor's answer:

The causes or etiology of infertility are typically categorized into four major types based on the underlying cause: tubal infertility, endocrine disorders, ovary-related infertility, and gynecological disease-related infertility. Only by identifying the specific cause and treating it accordingly can female infertility be fundamentally cured. So, how can the cause of female infertility be diagnosed? Diagnosing female infertility is a systematic process.
1. Tubal Infertility: Tubal blockage preventing sperm from meeting the egg is a common cause of infertility, accounting for 40% of infertility cases. Tubal blockage rarely presents with any clinical symptoms or signs, primarily manifesting as infertility.
2. Endocrine Disorders: Endocrine disorders primarily refer to luteal phase deficiency, which accounts for 20% of female infertility cases. Luteal phase deficiency occurs when the ovary fails to fully develop into a corpus luteum after ovulation, leading to insufficient progesterone secretion. This prevents the endometrium from transforming promptly, making it unfavorable for embryo implantation. As a result, it often leads to infertility or habitual abortion. Diagnosis can be confirmed through methods such as basal body temperature measurement (BBT), premenstrual endometrial scraping, serum hormone testing, vaginal smear, ultrasound, and laparoscopy.
3. Ovary-Related Infertility: Ovary-related factors account for approximately 15%-25% of infertility cases. Congenital absence of ovaries, immature ovaries, premature ovarian failure, and polycystic ovaries can all affect ovarian hormone secretion and ovulation. The diagnosis of ovary-related infertility is not difficult, and its diagnostic methods include hormone testing, CT and MRI scans, and laparoscopic exploration.
4. Gynecological Disease-Related Infertility: Many gynecological diseases can affect pregnancy. Among them, cervical erosion, gynecological inflammation, uterine fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome can directly lead to female infertility, accounting for about 20% of the causes of female infertility. Once these gynecological diseases are treated, the patient's condition improves, and natural pregnancy becomes possible.
Medical Advice: According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, liver qi stagnation and impaired qi flow can lead to blood stasis, resulting in irregular menstruation, even amenorrhea, and ultimately infertility. Due to phlegm-dampness obstruction and impaired ascending-descending functions, patients may experience dizziness, palpitations, chest tightness, nausea, abdominal distension, and leukorrhea with a thick, sticky consistency. A white, greasy tongue with a slippery and deep pulse is also indicative of phlegm-dampness retention. Treatment should focus on soothing the liver, regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and eliminating dampness. Once qi and blood are harmonized, ovulation will naturally occur.
