Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Immune Infertility

Immune infertility is an autoimmune disease. Western medicine is not clear about the etiology and pathogenesis of this disease, and there are some assumptions and hypotheses. Some foreign scholars have suggested that immune infertility may be related to infection factors, intestinal factors and genetic factors, while others think it is related to menstruation, unclean sexual intercourse and postpartum infection.
