In traditional medicine, the cause of infertility is often attributed to kidney problems. However, based on my years of clinical experience, in addition to congenital factors, many infertility patients have problems that are actually half in the liver and half in the spleen. As long as the liver and spleen can be properly regulated, it is not difficult to get pregnant.
【Medical Case Sharing】
There was a young patient, who was only 28 years old, was married for 5 years but failed to get pregnant. After examination, the man had no problems, while the woman had problems such as poor physical fitness, irregular menstruation, and a small amount of blood clots. She often feels pain in her lower abdomen, chest tightness, irritability, and is accompanied by symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue, and weight loss.
Together, I was diagnosed with liver depression and spleen deficiency, as well as a complex combination of blood stasis, blood deficiency, and kidney deficiency.
Specifically, irregular menstruation and symptoms such as blood clots, lower abdominal distension and pain, and chest tightness are all manifestations of liver blood stasis.
Long-term infertility pressure leads to liver stagnation and qi stagnation, which affects the liver's excretory function, causing blood to stagnate in the liver and form blood stasis. These stasis hinder the normal flow of menstrual blood, leading to irregular menstruation and even infertility.
The symptoms of poor appetite, fatigue, fatigue, and emaciation are manifestations of spleen deficiency. The spleen is the foundation of the acquired body, responsible for transforming qi and blood and replenishing nutrients. Deficiency of spleen qi leads to weakness of movement, qi and blood, which affects body shape and appetite.
In addition, the patient's long-term illness injured his kidneys, and his kidney qi was also deficient. The kidneys are responsible for nourishing the uterus and ovaries. If the kidney qi is weak, the uterus and ovaries function is impaired, and menstruation is irregular, which affects fertility.
In view of the complex situation of this patient, I adopted the treatment principles of invigorating blood and regulating menstruation, soothing the liver and breaking down stasis.
Prescriptions: Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Chuanxiong root, Sichuan hyssop, Lulutong, Sanleng, Curcuma, Yanhusuo, red peony, licorice.
Angelica sinensis and Chuanxiong invigorate blood and replenish blood, regulate menstruation and relieve pain;
Sanleng, Curcuma, Yanhusuo, Lulutong, Red Peony carry liver qi, soothe liver and stagnation, and relieve pain;
Sichuan oxknee invigorates blood and meridians, nourishes the liver and kidneys;
Astragalus and licorice replenish qi and harmonize and promote healthy qi.
After half a month of addition and subtraction treatment, the patient's symptoms improved significantly and menstruation returned to normal. Subsequently, I asked her to continue her treatment, and within half a year she told me the good news of her pregnancy.
Here, I would like to remind the majority of female friends that if you usually eat poorly, are too fat or too thin, it is recommended to have a timely examination and conditioning. This is especially true before preparing for pregnancy, so as not to delay the disease and affect the progress of childbirth. May every woman be able to welcome a new life in good health and smoothness.
