Abstract:
The life view of physique-qi-spirit trinity is our ancestors'basic understanding of human life.Premature ovarian failure(POF)is the end stage of ovarian function loss,and it is a major problem that plagues the life and fertility of contemporary women of childbearing age.In the view of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),human beings are an organic unity of the trinity of physique,qi and spirit.The disorders of any of the physique,qi and spirit may directly lead to the occurrence of diseases and affect the function of the other two.In this paper,the pathogenesis of infertility associated with POF is discussed from three aspects based on the view of physique-qi-spirit trinity:kidney essence deficiency and spleen dysfunction leading to abnormal physique,inactivation of shaoyang pivot leading to disordered qi movement,and liver qi stagnation leading to mental derangement.Aimed to restore the normal state of the physique-qi-spirit trinity,the TCM treatment of infertility associated with POF can be achieved by the methods of tonifying the kidney and strengthening the spleen to supplement the physique,activating the pivot to regulate qi,soothing the liver and nourishing the blood to calm the mind.Discussion on the treatment of infertility associated with POF from the perspective of the life view of physique-qi-spirit trinity will deepen the understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of infertility associated with POF,and will embody the advantages of TCM for regulating menstruation and promoting gestation.
