How does TCM treat infertility caused by hyperprolactinemia? Hyperprolactinemia is one of the causes of female infertility, affecting women's normal life and fertility, and causing serious troubles for many women. Many female friends are very concerned about how TCM can treat infertility caused by hyperprolactinemia. Let's learn about the treatment methods of TCM together.

Experts point out that prolactin (PRL) is a protein hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, whose main function is to stimulate the growth of breast tissue and the production of milk. Hyperprolactinemia refers to a syndrome in which the PRL level in the blood is increased due to dysfunction of the gonadal axis, leading to amenorrhea, lactation and a series of metabolic changes in the body.

How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat infertility caused by hyperprolactinemia?

To treat infertility caused by hyperprolactinemia, we must start with hyperprolactinemia. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, hyperprolactinemia is mostly caused by liver depression and qi stagnation, liver and kidney deficiency, spleen deficiency and phlegm obstruction. Therefore, the treatment should be based on the following syndrome differentiation and treatment:

1. Treatment of symptoms of spleen deficiency and phlegm obstruction

If one is obese, or eats too much rich food, or has an irregular diet, or is overly worried and overworked, the spleen and stomach will be damaged. The spleen is responsible for transportation and transformation. If the spleen is weak, water and dampness will accumulate, and the accumulated fluid will become phlegm. The phlegm will block the Qi and the blood vessels, causing Chong and Ren disorders, resulting in late menstruation, amenorrhea, or even infertility.

Treatment start: Spleen deficiency cannot absorb blood and return it to the meridians, Qi and blood are disordered, and cannot flow down to Chong and Ren. Instead, they go up to the breasts and turn into milk, causing milk overflow.

2. Treatment of symptoms of liver and kidney deficiency

The liver stores blood, the kidney controls water and stores essence. The liver and kidney have the same origin, and essence and blood are mutually generated. Kidney deficiency leads to liver blood deficiency, Chong and Ren deficiency, and insufficient blood sea, which leads to scanty menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility.

Treatment start: Deficiency of liver and kidney, the liver is not nourished, and the dysfunction of drainage leads to disorder of qi and blood, and galactorrhea is caused as the liver qi goes up to the breast.

3. Treatment of symptoms of liver depression and qi stagnation

The liver stores blood and is responsible for the regulation of excretion. Its nature is to be unobstructed. The nipples belong to the liver, and milk is produced from the blood.

Treatment: Due to worry, anger, emotional distress, liver qi stagnation, and abnormal qi and blood flow, blood does not flow normally, and flows down to the sea of ​​blood to become menstrual fluid, which in turn goes up with liver qi to the breast and turns into milk, leading to milk overflow, scanty menstruation, amenorrhea and infertility.
