Irregular menstruation is a sign of infertility

For example, patients with oogenesis impaired infertility often experience menstrual conditions such as scanty and light-colored menstruation, delayed menstruation, or secondary amenorrhea. Western medicine believes that it is ovarian dysfunction, while traditional Chinese medicine believes that it is mostly caused by uterine coldness and insufficient qi and blood. Patients with fallopian tube dysfunction-type infertility often have more blood clots, dark menstrual blood, and poor blood flow. Western medicine believes that the cause is mostly blocked fallopian tubes, while Chinese medicine mostly diagnoses it as qi stagnation and blood stasis.
