Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. He Haochen
The incidence of infertility caused by "cold uterus" (gong han) is very high, with approximately 50% of all infertility patients experiencing infertility due to this condition. Common symptoms of cold uterus include menstrual irregularities, dark-colored menstrual blood, blood clots, and dysmenorrhea. In daily life, individuals should strengthen self-regulation, avoid consuming cold or cooling foods, eat more warm-natured foods, and may also take traditional Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
