This paper summarized professor BAN Xiuwen′s experience on the treatment of blocked fallopian tubes. BAN thinks that uterine vessels stasis and obstruction is the the basic pathogenesis of this disease

and the common pathogenic factors are deficiency leading to insufficiency and stasis leading to obstruction. Deficiency leading to insufficiency means that qi deficiency and blood depletion lead to loss of nourishment of the uterus

making the uterine vessels not filled and thus obstructed. Stasis leading to obstruction means that pathogenic factors such as cold congealing

damp heat

qi constraint

phlegm obstruction and blood stasis can lead to stasis of the uterine

thereby obstructing the uterine vessels. In terms of treatment

it is recommended to nourish blood while dredging the vessels

and to move qi while supplementing the center; to use acrid medicinals open

warm and activate and bitter medicinals promote descent

unblocking and movement; to supplement the three zang（脏） organs simultaneously

assisting in the regulation qi and blood; to dredge the vessels and move qi as pathogenic damp obstruction is the main pathogenesis; as well as to treat disease with both medication and diet based on pattern differentiation.
