Female infertility is a common and difficult disease in gynecology, and it is related to the happiness of families and social stability. Chinese medicine has long accumulated rich clinical experience in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. In the Suwen Bone and Air Theory, it is pointed out that the mechanism of infertility is “the infertility of a woman with a disease in the Governor’s Vessel”. In the Song Dynasty, “Jisheng Fang – Theory of Childlessness”, it is clearly recognized that irregular menstruation is the main factor of infertility in women. Modern medical practitioners have further realized through clinical and experimental research that infertility is related to kidney deficiency, liver depression, phlegm-dampness and blood stasis. The author believes that the treatment of infertility should be based on the liver, spleen and kidney, and should be a comprehensive treatment, taking into account the experience of her teachers and her personal clinical experience. The liver is closely related to reproduction. It is mainly manifested in two aspects: (1) liver blood and reproduction. As the ancients say, a woman is born with liver and blood. The liver is the organ that collects blood, and the rushing is the sea of blood, and is subordinate to the liver, so the liver blood is abundant, then the Tai Chong vein is full, injecting the uterus, and the menstruation is regular, so that there can be a child; on the contrary, if the liver fire is vigorous, burnt liver body, or long term disease causes liver yin deficiency, the liver blood is not full, can appear in the “Gynecological Jade ruler – Volume 2”: “If the blood is not full, the rushing is deficient, then the menstruation is delayed, how can conception? ” (2) Emotion and fertility. The liver is the master of the discharge of emotions, and is the pivot of qi and blood regulation. The liver draining function is normal, the woman’s mood is relaxed, liver qi, qi flow, blood fluency, the stroke can be stored overflow, pregnancy is normal; if the woman is angry, emotional depression, over time can lead to liver draining, qi is not smooth, and qi is the handsome blood, so it can be seen that the qi and blood is not harmonious, the stroke can not be funded and difficult to conceive. As the “clinical guide to medical cases” said: “women’s internal organs, Yin condensation, easy to Fries depression, depression is stagnant blood is also stagnant.” Jing Yue Quan Shu – Women’s Rules” cloud: “childbirth and childbirth due to blood, emotion and will is not smooth, then Chong Ren is not full, Chong Ren is not full, then the fetus pregnancy not.” According to modern research, about 20% of infertility patients are related to psychological factors, the mechanism of which is that emotional factors interfere with the secretory function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis through the cerebral cortex, thus leading to ovulation disorders and endocrine disorders, resulting in menopause, menstrual irregularities, dysfunctional uterine bleeding and tubal spasm, which eventually cause infertility. In terms of treatment, according to the Six Books of the River, “all cases of Tianjiu are treated with sympathetic Yin”. Therefore, the clinical treatment of infertility should start from the sympathetic yin. Specific treatment includes: (1) Nourishing Blood, invigorating Blood, softening Liver. In Ling Shu – Blood Sound and Blood Taste, it is said that “the birth of a woman is surplus to qi and deficient to blood, because the number of her blood is also off.” Tang Rongchuan said: “The nourishment of blood, always to nourish the liver as the key.” [1] Therefore, this method can be chosen clinically for those with evidence of liver-blood deficiency. The formula can be added and subtracted from Siwu Tang, commonly used drugs are Shu Di, Angelica, Bai Shao, Chuan Xiong, Chicken Blood Vine, Dan Shen, Agaricus, Imperatae, and Turtle Nail. Modern research has shown that herbs for activating blood circulation and resolving blood stasis have certain inhibitory effects on humoral immunity and cellular immunity, which have better curative effects on immune infertility. For example, Salvia miltiorrhiza and Cortex rotundus have a role in promoting the absorption of deposited antigen-antibody complexes, and Andrographis paniculata and turtle nail can activate ovarian local fibrinase and collagenase, leading to follicular self-digestion or stimulating ovarian smooth muscle contraction, causing follicular wall rupture and ovulation. 【2】(2) De-stressing the liver and relieving depression. Chen Xiuyuan pointed out in “The Essentials of Female Medicine” that “women who are childless have irregular menstrual flow, and the menstrual flow is not regulated because of the internal injuries of the seven emotions.” Therefore, the author believes that to regulate menstruation, we must first regulate the liver, and to regulate the liver, we must first regulate the qi, and only when the liver qi is well regulated, the qi and blood flow smoothly, and the menstruation is as normal, can we conceive. Therefore, this method is often used in the clinical treatment of infertility with liver qi stagnation, manifesting as infertility after marriage for a long time, irregular menstruation, premenstrual breast swelling, depression, or irritability, red tongue with thin coating and string veins. Commonly used formula is to choose Kai Yu Seed Jade Tang or Yi Yao San plus or minus treatment. (3) Pay attention to psychological treatment. “Jisheng Fang・Seeking children” cloud: “Women should nourish blood and suppress gas to reduce the joy and anger …… yin and yang peace, then the woman happy to have children.” It shows that the ancients have long recognized that a relaxed mood is helpful to conception. Therefore, the clinical treatment of infertility should pay attention to psychological guidance, so that patients can avoid excessive psychological tension, maintain a relaxed mood, and face life and work with an optimistic state of mind to help conception. The spleen and stomach are located in the middle jiao and belong to the five elements of earth. They are the pivot for the rise and fall of qi and the source of biochemistry of qi and blood, nourishing the organs internally and moistening the skin externally. The blood produced by the spleen and stomach directly provides the material basis for menstruation and conception. Therefore, the normal function of the spleen and stomach, the food and water can be transported, biochemical sources of Qi and blood, menstrual water is sufficient, in order to normal conception. If the woman’s spleen and stomach are deficient, the stomach does not receive, the spleen does not transport and transform, the Qi and blood are insufficient, the source is dried up, and the menstrual flow is not nourished, resulting in infertility. As stated in “The Third Book of the Maternity Room”, “the weakness of the spleen and stomach, the inability to eat and drink, the deficiency of Ying and Wei, the failure of menstruation, the yellow skin, the lack of light, the cold and heat, the abdominal pain, and the difficulty in childbirth.” [3] The spleen is responsible for transporting and transforming water and fluids, and has a role in promoting and regulating water metabolism in the body. If the spleen and stomach are weak due to inappropriate diet or liver depression, they are unable to transport water and fluids, and water and dampness are stagnant as drinks, and the fluid condenses into phlegm, which can block the channels and flow into the lower jiao, resulting in dysregulation of the flushing and the pulses, and irregularities in the menstrual cycle, and thus infertility. That is, “Fu Qingzheng Women’s Medicine – Seeds” cloud: “Women who have obese bodies, phlegm is very much, can not conceive …… is also within the spleen and earth disease …… the spleen is wet earth, and because of phlegm, more and more wet, the spleen can not receive, will infiltrate the The twins, accumulate over time, cover the uterus, can not be fertilized.” [4] In the treatment of infertility, we should pay attention to the method of regulating the spleen and stomach according to the principle of “if there is deficiency, we should tonify it, and if there is actuality, we should drain it”. (1) Strengthening the spleen, benefiting Qi and nourishing Blood. (1) Strengthening the spleen and nourishing the qi and blood, as stated in “Women’s Science Series – Seeking Children”: “Seeking children depends on sufficient qi and blood, and deficiency will lead to childlessness.” Therefore, this method is often used in cases of infertility due to weakness of the spleen and stomach and deficiency of qi and blood. Clinically, it is often seen in those who have been infertile for a long time after marriage, with poor appetite, white and weak face, dizziness and anxiety, pale white claw nails and lips, late menstruation, low volume and light color, light tongue with thin coating and weak pulse. The formula can be selected from Yulinzhu or Guixianzhu Tang with addition and reduction. Commonly used drugs include Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng, Radix et Rhizoma Prince, Rhizoma Polygonati, Atractylodes Macrocephala, Poria, Radix Angelicae Sinensis, Radix Paeoniae Alba, etc., so that the spleen qi is strong, the qi and blood are sufficient, and the flushing and the flow of blood are abundant, so that conception can occur. (2) Strengthening the spleen, drying dampness and resolving phlegm. Fu Qingzheng Women’s Medicine – Seeds” has “phlegm-damp infertility” said, “The treatment must be to drain water and dissolve phlegm. However, in vain to drain water to resolve phlegm, but not to supplement the qi of the spleen and stomach, then Yang is not vigorous, damp phlegm does not go.” 【4】《Danxi Xinfa・Phlegm said》:”The treatment of phlegm, real spleen and earth, dry spleen and damp is to treat its essence.” Therefore, it is advisable to strengthen the spleen and dry dampness to resolve phlegm in cases of phlegm-damp infertility. The formula can be used to treat with the addition and subtraction of the Cangfu Guiding Phlegm Pill or Qigong Pill. Commonly used drugs are Semen, Atractylodes, Atractylodes, Pericarpium, Poria, Aromatic Herb, Nanxing, etc. 3. Treatment from the kidney The kidney is the root of the innate nature, the root of the vital energy, the main reservoir of essence, the source of the transformation of the heavenly sap. The strength or weakness of the essence in the kidney dominates the growth, development and reproduction of the human body. As “Suwen – Shanggu Tianzhen” said: “When a woman is seven years old, her kidney energy is strong, and her teeth grow longer. The second seven and the day sebum to, the Ren vein through, the Taichong vein Sheng, menstruation to time down, so there are children. ……. The seventh seven years, the Ren vein is deficient, the Taichong vein decreases less, the heavenly sebum is exhausted, the earthly channel is not accessible, so the form is bad and no children.” It can be seen that the kidney energy is strong, then the menstruation and pregnancy is normal. If the innate kidney deficiency, kidney Qi deficiency, weak essence, it is often seen or closed or collapse, or infertility. The kidney is the root of the yin and yang, kidney yang has the role of warming the organs, warming the uterus, kidney yin has the role of nourishing the body, moistening the uterus. If the kidneys are affected by congenital deficiency or indiscipline in intercourse, or if the kidneys are affected by long term illness, or if the kidneys are deficient in yin loss and yang, and if the vital gate fire fails, the uterus is not warmed and the uterus is not warmed, the uterus is unable to take in sperm due to coldness and infertility. For example, “Sheng Ji General Record” cloud: “The woman so childless, punching any deficiency, kidney deficiency cold.” Fu Qingzheng Women’s Medicine and Seeds says: “Women with cold lower body, non-fire does not warm …… the land of cold ice can not grow grass and trees, heavy yin source, not grow fish and dragons, now the uterus is cold, why can conception?” The actual fact is that if the body is deficient in yin and blood, or if the room strain hurts the kidneys, or if a long illness consumes the yin and blood resulting in deficiency of kidney yin, the yin and blood is deficient and the cell veins are not nourished, the sperm cannot be taken into pregnancy. This is the “Secret Record of the Stone Room”, “the kidney water failure, the uterus dry, the seedlings without rain and dew, also into shriveled yellow.” Fu Qingzhu Women’s Medicine – Seeds also says: “Thin people have a lot of fire, and drain their essence, then water is less, and fire is more incandescent, this Yin deficiency and fire, can not conceive.” Treatment should be based on the idea of “treating the disease must be based on the root” as stated in the Nei Jing. Since the kidney is the master of human reproduction, the author believes that the method of tonifying the kidney is the fundamental method of treating infertility. Specifically, it includes: (1) tonifying the kidney and filling the essence. In “Introduction to Medicine – Seeking Heirs”, it is said that “male sperm and female blood are both qi, blood, yin and yang, and always belong to the kidneys and the Gate of Life. The sperm and blood is abundant, there are no miscellaneous diseases, it is appropriate to rendezvous at the right time, to become a fetus and pregnancy.” Combined with clinical diagnosis, the author believes that ovulatory dysfunction, luteal insufficiency, uterine dysplasia, immune infertility and other ovarian dysfunctions can all be seen in this type of infertility, and the treatment should be to tonify the kidney and fill the essence. Commonly used drugs include Fructus Lycii, Cuscuta, Salvia, Zizyphus, Amethyst, Deer Antler Gum, Radix Rehmanniae, etc. Warm the kidneys and warm the uterus. Fu Qingcheng master of women – seeds “said:” the heart and the kidney, warm the kidney and that is warm heart, heart and kidney gas, the heart and kidney fire, the heart and kidney fire, the uterus of the cold since dispersed. And now the twins are hot, there are still giving and not receiving?” Therefore, for those with clinical manifestations of infertility after marriage, late menstruation, dizziness, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, pale tongue, white fur, sunken pulse and other evidence of uterine cold infertility, when warming the kidneys and warming the uterus, the formula can be selected from warming the fullness of the drink or Aegis Nuan Gong Pill and other additive treatment. Nourishing the kidney and moistening the uterus. The “Identification Record・Volume 11” says: “Women with thin and timid bodies, long infertile …… treatment must be a great supplement to the kidney water.” Therefore, for infertility patients with clinical manifestations of prolonged infertility, pre-menstruation, dizziness and tinnitus, irritability of the five hearts, dry throat and thirst, red tongue with little coating, and thin pulse, the treatment should be to nourish the kidney to moisten the uterus, and the formula is often chosen from Nourishing Essence Seeding Yu Tang with addition and subtraction. According to modern research, the kidney is closely related to the gonads, and herbal tonics for the kidney can regulate the balance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, increase the level of estrogen, promote follicular development, inhibit the production of IGA in the endometrium, and reduce the level of complement in the reproductive tract, thus treating anovulatory infertility. This can treat anovulatory infertility and immune infertility. In conclusion, the author believes that the causes and mechanisms of infertility are complex, and treatment should be holistic, based on evidence-based treatment, combined with the methods of draining the liver, strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidneys, and supplemented with the necessary psychological treatment, so as to improve the conception rate of infertility patients.
