The causes of infertility in women are mainly threefold: first, the ancestral tomb lacks descendants to offer sacrifices (a superstitious belief); second, the birth years and fates of the husband and wife are mutually incompatible; third, the husband is ill while the wife suffers from rashes or skin diseases. All these conditions can lead to an inability to conceive. However, the cessation of menstruation is a key factor in treating infertility.
