Traditional Chinese medicine and fertility
Fertility specialists are incorporating traditional Chinese medicine into western treatments for fertility:
“In today’s fast-paced world, married couples are waiting longer to have families. The average age of woman having children is much higher than in the past. This has posed some problems for couples that are deciding to have a family in their late 30s early 40s.
As women age, it becomes more difficult to produce good quality eggs for fertilization. Sometimes conception isn’t the problem, it’s maintaining a pregnancy that is difficult. Traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture, herbs, diet and a lot more) has addressed fertility issues (and women’s health) for thousands of years. Due to socio-economic reasons, the ancient Chinese have put an emphasis on this particular aspect of health/medicine.
It has become so effective and safe that even reproductive clinics all over the world are now incorporating traditional Chinese medicine (acupuncture in particular) into their practices. It mainly helps with blood flow and also aids in calming patients so that their internal workings flow and circulate well.
The benefits are enormous. Other things that can affect a pregnancy are: Diet, stress, sleep problems, medications, depression and more. It’s also important to note that male factor infertility is as common as female factor infertility.”
