ABSTRACT

The theory of "Tian Gui" originated from "Huangdi Neijing", in which it is written that a woman can only get pregnant when her internal organs are full of qi and blood, and her reproductive function is normal, and its research significance and clinical practical value have far-reaching impacts. Infertility is a common intractable disease among women of childbearing age, and its incidence rate is as high as one sixth. Ovulation dysfunction has become one of the main causes of infertility in women. Kidney is the master of reproduction, the lack of kidney essence, stagnation of blood stasis in the uterus, the follicle development and maturation of obstacles and difficulties in discharging, kidney deficiency and blood stasis is an important mechanism of ovulatory dysfunction infertility (ODI). According to Chinese medicine, the occurrence of this disease is closely related to the reproductive axis of "Kidney-Tiangui-Chongren-Cystic uterus", and the treatment can be based on tonifying the kidney and activating the blood, supplemented by strengthening the spleen and dredging the liver, promoting the flow of qi and resolving phlegm. By analyzing the relationship between “Tian Gui” and female reproduction, this article explores the pathogenesis of ODI with kidney deficiency and blood stasis, with a view to providing more ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of ODI with kidney deficiency and blood stasis.
