Patients with cold body constitution or cold in the uterus are more likely to experience infertility. Therefore, if one has a cold body constitution, it is important to adjust it promptly. Usually, you can eat some foods that eliminate coldness in the body, such as adzuki beans and coix seeds. Engaging in more physical exercise and sweating can also help expel the coldness through sweat. Alternatively, soaking in warm water, sauna treatments, cupping therapy, and moxibustion are effective methods for expelling internal coldness. These can improve symptoms of a cold constitution and spending more time in the sunlight can also boost the body's immunity.

How is infertility caused?

Common causes of infertility in women often stem from ovulatory disorders and tubal factors. The common ovulatory disorders mainly include dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, ovarian diseases, and endocrine metabolic diseases such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Other causes include systemic diseases, chronic consumptive diseases, severe malnutrition, excessive obesity, and excessive thinness. The second aspect involves tubal factors, such as inflammation and blockage of the fallopian tubes leading to infertility. The third aspect is uterine factors, which include poor uterine development, uterine abnormalities, endometritis, and endometrial tuberculosis, all of which can cause infertility. The fourth aspect is cervical factors, including cervical myomas, cervical inflammation, and abnormalities in cervical immunological function. The fifth aspect is factors related to the vaginal and perineal areas, where abnormal development, inflammation, and scarring of the vagina can cause infertility. As for men, the causes of infertility include abnormalities in semen, sexual function, and immunological factors. Immunological factors primarily involve the production of antibodies against one's own sperm in the body, causing ejaculated semen to agglutinate with itself and fail to pass through cervical mucus. Thus, from the perspectives of both men and women, these are the main causes of infertility.

Can uterine bleeding cause infertility?

Uterine bleeding can be normal or abnormal. Normal uterine bleeding refers to menstruation, which does not lead to infertility. Lack of uterine bleeding may indicate abnormal endocrine function, which could potentially cause infertility. However, if uterine bleeding occurs at times other than menstruation, it is considered abnormal uterine bleeding. There are various causes for abnormal uterine bleeding, and it can affect pregnancy. The most common reason for abnormal uterine bleeding is hormonal imbalance, which leads to irregular ovulation and may result in infertility.

How many people are infertile?

The infertility rate in our country is around 12%. According to the data released by the China Population Association and the National Health and Family Planning Commission, the infertility rate among couples of childbearing age in China has climbed from 2.5%-3% twenty years ago to about 12%-15% this year, with the number of affected individuals exceeding 50 million. Among these 50 million patients, 50% are women, 40% are men, and about 10% are cases involving both partners. With increasing environmental pollution, delayed childbearing age, and growing life pressures, the number of couples experiencing infertility continues to rise.

"What does infertility OC mean?"

Infertility OC refers to the ovarian stimulation protocols for in vitro fertilization (IVF), commonly divided into long and short protocols. Ovarian stimulation in IVF is done to obtain more eggs for better results. The choice between protocols is not determined by time, but by assessing the patient’s ovarian function. Patients with good ovarian function use the long protocol, while those with poor ovarian function use the short protocol. Although the long protocol takes more time, it provides better ovulation results and a more consistent ovarian response, preventing premature ovulation. The short protocol, although quicker, often has less effective stimulation results and an inconsistent ovarian response, which frequently leads to premature ovulation. Thus, the long protocol is the standard for ovarian stimulation, while the short protocol is a contingency plan used when there is concern that poor ovarian function might prevent follicle development with the long protocol.
