TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE (TCM) AND THE DESIRE TO HAVE CHILDREN
The treatment of both female and male infertility in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) has always played an essential role in China. In order to receive professional and satisfactory treatment, it is necessary to clarify the cause(s) of infertility according to western medicine and to submit a corresponding clinical result.
Relevant information such as menstrual history, hormone status, tube health, basal body temperature curve, spermiogram, accompanying diagnoses such as endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids etc are important information when it comes to adjusting treatment. In China, as in Taiwan, there is a close cooperation between Western medicine and TCM.
How is TCM treatment carried out if I want to have children?
Daily intake of Chinese or western herbs in the form of powder concentrates, herbal soups or tinctures according to the phases of the menstrual cycle. Before or during planned IVF/ICSI an individual diagnosis and corresponding TCM herbal recipe are made. Herbal therapy to increase sperm count and mobility is also carried out for male fertility disorders.
Some patients also require regular acupuncture therapy.
The duration of treatment is at least 3-6 menstrual cycles, depending on the western & eastern diagnosis of infertility.
Objectives: support and prepare for the planned IVF; complementary medical treatment of the causes of infertility, constitutional treatment.
Important: During the herbal therapy, the continuous measurement of the basal body temperature is necessary for the TCM therapist to adapt treatment.
