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.

Why does premature ovarian failure cause infertility?

The primary reason that premature ovarian failure leads to infertility is due to the decline in ovarian function it causes. Reduced ovarian function results in insufficient secretion of estrogen levels within the body. Consequently, the follicles on the ovaries do not develop and mature, and without mature egg cells, the sperm and egg cannot meet, which leads to infertility. Additionally, women with premature ovarian failure experience low hormone levels that prevent changes in the uterine lining, making it unsuitable for a fertilized egg to implant in the uterine cavity, which also causes infertility. Premature ovarian failure in women often leads to infertility. Therefore, it is difficult for women with this condition to conceive. If childbearing is desired, after treatment to regulate menstruation, it may be necessary to use assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization to achieve pregnancy.

Is infertility immunotherapy effective?

Infertility immunotherapy is effective, first looking at the cause of infertility. If infertility arises due to immune dysfunction, immunotherapy can be employed for targeted treatment at that time. If it is caused by fallopian tube blockage, tubal hydrotubation can be performed, followed by further fallopian tube treatment. Furthermore, if infertility is caused by anovulation of the ovaries, initially monitor the follicles via ultrasound. If indeed the follicles are not ovulating, medication can be used to stimulate ovulation. If infertility is caused by endocrine disorders, it is essential to regulate the endocrine system accordingly. Therefore, whether infertility immunotherapy is useful depends on the cause. If infertility occurs due to immune dysfunction, immunotherapy can be effective. If infertility is caused by other reasons, immunotherapy will be ineffective, hence it is crucial to evaluate the situation accordingly.

How is female infertility investigated?

There are many tests to be done for female infertility. For example, during menstruation, a fasting blood test can be done to check for six sex hormones, including follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone. Between days 3-7 after menstruation ends, a fallopian tube hydrotubation and imaging can be performed, but intercourse must be avoided and there should be no gynecological inflammation to proceed with this examination. Additionally, routine vaginal secretion and mycoplasma infection tests can be conducted to check for any related issues. Moreover, around the tenth day of the menstrual cycle, a follicle monitoring ultrasound can be done to observe if there are dominant follicles and whether ovulation occurs. The male partner should also undergo some related tests. In summary, different tests can be conducted at different times for female infertility.

How should one pay attention to diet with infertility?

Infertility requires first identifying the cause of infertility, whether it is related to male factors or female factors. The likelihood of diet affecting infertility is not very high, however, if there is excessive obesity or extreme thinness, appropriate changes need to be made. Relevant examinations should be conducted, such as tests for blood sugar, insulin levels, etc. Patients with infertility should, like everyone else, avoid overly selective eating habits, pay attention to their weight, and maintain a balanced diet to ensure adequate nutrition intake, and avoid eating junk food.

Infertility is what it means.

I think it's important to first clarify the definition of infertility, which is defined as couples living together for over two years with regular sexual activity, not using contraception, and not conceiving. Those who have never conceived without contraception after marriage are defined as primary infertility, while those who have been pregnant before and then, without using contraception, have not conceived again for two years are defined as secondary infertility. According to the World Health Organization's manual on standard examinations and diagnoses for infertile couples, the clinical standard for infertility is defined as one year. However, currently, we think that individuals who have had regular sexual activity without contraception and have not conceived for over a year should be advised to visit a specialized hospital and consult the gynecology or traditional Chinese medicine departments to investigate the causes of infertility.
