[Professor MA Kun treats infertility caused by uterine dysplasia with kidney deficiency and blood stasis].

ABSTRACT

Uterine dysplasia is a common cause of infertility. Traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in the treatment of this disease. This paper introduces a case of infertility caused by uterine dysplasia treated by Professor MA Kun who adopted the therapy of tonifying kidney and activating blood, aiming to summarize the theoretical foundation and formula principles of Professor MA Kun in the clinical treatment of this disease. The kidney stores essence and governs reproduction. Kidney deficiency is the root cause of infertility. The deficiencies in kidney Qi, Yin, and Yang can result in blood stasis to obstruct the uterus, leading to insufficient source for essence and aggravating kidney deficiency. Kidney deficiency and blood stasis affect each other and form a vicious cycle, resulting in uterine dysplasia due to insufficient nutrition and difficult pregnancy. Therefore, Professor MA Kun believes that kidney deficiency and blood stasis is the key pathogenesis of infertility caused by uterine dysplasia and proposes the treatment principle of tonifying kidney and activating blood. Sufficient essence and Qi in the kidney can resolve stasis and generate blood, thus harmonizing Yin and Yang, which can reach thoroughfare and conception vessels to nourish the uterus and recover the normal physiological function of the uterus. In that case, normal pregnancy is possible. Professor MA Kun attaches importance to the therapeutic principle of supplementing Qi and nourishing blood. In addition, she advocates conforming to changes in the menstrual cycle to promote the development of the uterus and the implantation of fertilized eggs. She also integrates traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine to treat both symptoms and root causes. Professor MA Kun's experience has demonstrated definite clinical effect on this disease and can be taken as a reference.
