Women have unique reproductive physiological functions: Menstruation, Leucorrhoea, pregnancy, and childbirth. The analysis of “hypothalamus-pituitaryovarian axis” can help us manage the reproductive axis: kidney-tiangui-chong ren-cytoplasmic axis, with more understanding and development. Enrichment of kidney qi makes Tiangui gradually mature, and the functions of the two are similar to the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and the trace substances secreted by them. The Chong and Ren two channels (thoroughfare and conception vessels) gather qi, blood, yin, and essence and transport them to the uterus. Although kidney qi and Tiangui are derived from innate, they need to be continuously supplemented by the water and grains produced by the acquired spleen and stomach. Coupled with the coordination of the functions of the liver, heart, lungs and kidneys, the reproductive physiological axis has periodic fluctuations. Finally, it makes the ovum mature and be ovulated. After the combination of the sperm and ovum, the fertilized ovum can grow smoothly in the blood sea of the uterus.
