Title : Unexplained infertility and traditional chinese medicine
Abstract:
Unexplained infertility affects approximately 15-30% of the infertile population. This is a challenging diagnosis that responds well to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) when other treatment options are not desired nor effective. TCM views the body through unique diagnostic lenses, which pinpoint imbalances at the root level to restore health, vitality and fertility. The process begins with a thorough examination through questioning, pulse and tongue diagnosis. From these findings, an Eastern diagnosis is formed, which reveals the root cause of the imbalance and as well as the branch symptoms. Then a multi-factorial, integrative treatment plan is developed. The acupuncturist/herbalist skillfully steers the body toward health and fertility by targeting the root cause. Individually tailored acupuncture treatments, herbal medicine supplements and other natural therapies are utilized. Once balance is restored, ovulation, conception, pregnancy and live birth can happen. TCM and holistic therapies offer treatment options and hope for those struggling with all diagnosed infertility, especially unexplained infertility.
