There are many reasons causing infertility. In the concept of western medicine, infertility caused
by blocked fallopian tubes accounts for a considerable proportion, reaching about 40%. In the
concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the most likely cause of infertility is the deficiency of the
kidneys. The manifestations of kidney deficiency are often backaches, increased nocturia, and so
on. The most common is the coldness of the uterus. If the egg is like a seed, the uterus represents the
earth. If the land is too cold, can you expect the seed to germinate and grow smoothly? Western
medicine will use surgery to unblock the fallopian tubes, or use hormones to regulate
menstruation. However, the method of surgery is easy to cause adhesions, and hormones also
have many side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine will use moxibustion or adjust the patient’s
diet to achieve the purpose of warming the uterus. When the fundamental cause of infertility is
eliminated, patients can often become pregnant in a short time.
