Infertility in women

Infertility in women is a reproductive condition affecting women who have failed to

become pregnant after living with their husbands for more than two years, and whose
husbands have normal reproductive ability, without contraceptive intervention. It may

phlegm, or blood stasis.

menstruation with discharge of reduced amounts of pink vaginal blood, reduction of
sexual desire, and soreness and weakness of waist and knees. Patients with Yang

Patients with fiver qi stagnation may suffer from purple menstrual discharge varied in
amount and duration and mixed with clots, distension and pain in chest and flank, red
tongue with white coating, and wiry pulse. Patients with accumulation of dampness
and phlegm may suffer from irregular menstruation with discharge of reduced
amounts of pink vaginal blood and profuse, white and thin leukorrhea, distension of
