Patients with cold-induced infertility often have a close relation to their living environment, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Keeping feet in warm water for about 10 to 30 minutes can effectively improve blood circulation and metabolism, promoting better blood flow and removing blockages in channels and collaterals, which can effectively alleviate cold constitution. Additionally, practices like scraping therapy and acupuncture can remove dampness from the body. Dietarily, it is important to avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods to prevent exacerbating the condition. Consuming warm-natured foods such as beef, lamb, red dates, brown sugar, and donkey-hide gelatin can effectively improve symptoms of a cold constitution.

What to eat to regulate the body for cold-induced infertility?

Cold body infertility, in traditional Chinese medicine, is mainly caused by the deficiency of spleen and kidney yang. Clinically, this will manifest as a pattern of deficiency and coldness. At this time, one should first make adjustments through diet. The diet should include more warm foods and less raw, cold, especially frozen foods, and more animal-based foods, which are beneficial for the body, such as beef, lamb, dog meat, fish, shrimp, leeks, pepper, and Sichuan pepper, etc. At the same time, one should also engage in more physical exercise to get the body moving and slightly sweating, which can improve the cold constitution and increase the chance of conception.

Can infertility have menstruation?

There are many causes of infertility. Normally, if a couple has been married for a year without using contraception and does not have a child, they are generally diagnosed with infertility. Infertility patients can develop from causes such as hormonal imbalances, which might lead to menstrual disorders and lack of normal ovulation, resulting in infertility. Infections like mycoplasma and chlamydia can also cause infertility, as can immune issues, abnormal ovulation, or problems with the fallopian tubes. However, infertility does not necessarily mean an absence of menstruation. Some patients may have normal menstrual cycles and ovulation. The reason for infertility in such cases might be due to blocked fallopian tubes or other hormonal issues. Therefore, whether an infertility patient has menstruation can vary; some may have a normal menstrual cycle, while others may not.

Infertility means.

The concept of infertility in medicine is defined as follows: both male and female partners have normal sexual relations without using any contraceptives, and if the female cannot become pregnant after a year, this condition is diagnosed as infertility. Previously, the time frame for diagnosing infertility was set at two years. However, due to the implementation of the two-child policy, the average age of both men and women tends to be higher, so it is generally limited to one year. If there is no pregnancy within this period, it is urgent to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in order to identify the cause early and treat it accordingly, to avoid delaying the condition.

When to go for infertility check-ups?

The timing of infertility examinations cannot be generalized and should be determined based on the specific test and gender. For males, the primary tests include semen analysis and sperm morphology exams. These require the male to abstain from ejaculation for 2-7 days because if the abstinence period is too short, less than 48 hours, both sperm quality and semen volume may be low, which does not reflect the true level. Conversely, if the abstinence exceeds seven days, it can also affect the results of the test. For females, if undergoing a six-item hormone test, it is best conducted during days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle. For a fallopian tube patency test, it is safer to conduct it between days 3-7 after the menstrual period has ended. The exact timing of these tests should be advised by the attending physician.

Can fallopian tube cysts cause infertility?

If it has been confirmed that there is a fallopian tube cyst, further examination is still needed to determine whether the fallopian tube cyst affects normal conception. If the fallopian tube cyst causes narrowing or blockage of the fallopian tube lumen, it may decrease the likelihood of normal conception or increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. If the cyst on the fallopian tube does not affect the spaciousness of the entire lumen or cause any blockage of the fallopian tube, it generally will not have any impact on normal conception.
