Abstract

Objective

This research aims to investigate the patterns and interconnections between infertility syndrome classifications and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitutional profiles.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted to categorize cases that fulfilled the eligibility criteria, followed by an examination of the statistical outcomes.

Results

The findings revealed that among the 409 infertility cases, the most prevalent TCM syndrome was Kidney Deficiency Syndrome, with 242 cases (59.2 %); Balanced Constitution accounted for 118 cases (28.9 %), while Yang Deficiency Constitution was the most common among the Biased Constitutions, with 86 cases (21 %). The influencing factors included BMI, disease duration, age, and ovarian factors. Yang Deficiency Constitution (64 cases) was more frequent in the high-incidence Kidney Deficiency Syndrome.

Conclusion

Kidney Deficiency Syndrome was the most common TCM syndrome in female infertility, and Yang Deficiency Constitution was more prevalent among Biased Constitutions.
