Who benefits from Chinese Medicine Fertility Care?
We offer treatment programs tailored for:
Treatment of gynaecological disorders which potentially cause infertility:
- Ovulation problems: arising from PCOS, premature ovarian insufficiency, and other forms of ovarian dysfunction including poor egg quality.
- Luteal phase deficiency: where the endometrial lining is insufficient to support implantation.
- Endometriosis: causing painful intercourse and blockages to implantation.
- Period problems: for example irregular periods, persistent short or long cycles, absence of period or severe period pain.
- Abnormal immunological factors in the cervix and uterus: may impede fertilisation and increase risks of miscarriage.
Preconception care for couples:
- Unexplained infertility: most likely due to functional blockage of the fallopian tubes or unregulated emotions from a Chinese medicine perspective.
- Having a partner with low sperm count and/or abnormal sperm mobility and/or morphology: compensatory treatments can strengthen female fertility to counter male factors insufficiency.
- Started trying for natural pregnancy when above 30 years old and/or coming off contraceptive pills: treatments aim at improving ovarian function and egg quality, reducing risks of miscarriage.
- Undergoing IVF treatments: first time or after repeated IVF failed cycles.

How to achieve the best treatment outcome?
We recommend:
-
Be prepared to have regular treatments for a duration of at least 3 to 6 months:
This is the average treatment programs for gynaecological problems, preconception care for natural pregnancy and IVF preparations. For complex pathology the treatment programs may need to be repeated and/or revised as you progress in your healing.
-
Having regular maintenance treatments after gynaecological problems are treated:
This will ensure that the body and mind are kept balanced, especially benefiting the reproductive system to function well while trying to fall pregnant.
-
Incorporate acupuncture with herbal medicine to enhance treatment results:
Especially in complex and longstanding disorders.
-
Continue acupuncture treatments during IVF stimulation cycle and before embryo transfer:
This will increase your chances of success.
