Infertility

For more than ten years, we have been focusing on the treatment of natural conception, assisted conception and related medical conditions, such as recurrent abortion and pregnancy complications. We have seen more than 800 couples and assisted patients to pass the IVF with more than 5,000 cycles. While comprehensively viewing and using traditional diagnostic tools, we operate in a comprehensive way, cooperate with consultants, and use western diagnostic methods, blood test results and reports to help us treat.

Acupuncture is the most commonly used adjuvant therapy for IVF. A report of HFEA in 2018 said that acupuncture is used for more than a quarter of all IVF cycles. It is mainly used to improve the success rate, and it can also be used to help support couples. Acupuncture is helpful to the implantation rate in IVF and subsequent healthy pregnancy.

About half of the couples in our clinic want to conceive naturally. For female patients, Chinese medicine will study the menstrual cycle in detail to determine what can be improved. Combine the blood test, scan results or western diagnosis to decide the treatment plan.

What can Traditional Chinese Medicine offer?

There are a range of options here, each treatment is often unique to that individual and so needs careful and detailed assessment by a Chinese Medical Practitioner. Pain often results when the channels running through the back area become blocked due to the stagnation of Qi (energy flow) and blood circulation. Acupuncture administered by a skilled TCM Practitioner can be very effective in helping to move and free the channel blockages, often giving the feeling of some relief during the same session. A course of treatment is often prescribed to ensure the Qi and blood flow remains active allowing a self-healing process to take place around the problem area. This is one area that can also benefit from some self-application. Ask your TCM Practitioner about massage oils and medicated plasters. In some cases especially long standing disorders or where arthritic processes have been active, a tailor made herbal tea can be useful to help encourage the body towards more normal function.
