About Fertility

The debate and research below provides information on infertility, based on our best knowledge, understanding and daily practice. That is not a substitute for care from your doctor.
There are many causal factors that can cause infertility. Both of these systems, Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are the insights and understanding of the causes and pathophysiological mechanisms of human infertility, and therefore, the management approaches are described below.

Requires balanced fertility hormones in reproductive organs structurally sound, healthy and nutritious diet and clean. Even with the above in place, the chances of a healthy couple of conception each month is only 25%. The paradigm of Chinese medicine, "Fertility" is equivalent to an obstruction, the free flow of Qi, blood and body fluids in the body, so that a balanced sound reproduction that produces fluctuations in the body's Yin and Yang . For the reproductive system to function at its peak, there must be a balance between all these components and systems of the body.

A couple is considered infertile if after a year of unprotected sex, which were not designed. Infertility is a growing problem, especially in the United States, where infertility affects about 15% of women with $ 1 billion spent annually on treatment. In approximately 10% of cases, the exact reason is unknown. In other cases, reproductive problems, whether male or female, or both are sterile, representing approximately 18% of the population according to 2005 statistics from the National CDC.

Fertility program at our clinic that uses acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal and nutritional therapies to enhance fertility, improve the overall health and support the ability to become pregnant and bear a healthy baby to term . This treatment method is also used for the treatment program before the overall design.
Pre-Conception Care is a necessary and very important when planning a pregnancy. A healthy, balanced, and the right of the menstrual cycle, as well as healthy, and the eggs depends on the health and well-being of a woman wishes to become pregnant.

Pregnancy occurs when conditions allow the correct timing. Achieving these conditions can be a challenge for many couples, so it is very important to consider a holistic approach. Working with natural conception, we focus on the restoration of fertility by restoring the proper functioning of the body as a whole.
There is a tendency for many patients and doctors to focus almost exclusively on the genitals. Our experience suggests that this approach is often inadequate (as evidenced by the fact that many patients seek us because they have failed conventional medical treatment). We will find good results when it comes to overall health and wellbeing of people. When general health is beginning to change, fertility is often restored automatically. Of course, there are many things that must be addressed directly to the genitals: and that definitely require special skills, but we never could get different results that we see in Chinese medicine, if only focused on the reproductive system.

Note that each of its organs plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. If none of these organs can not function optimally, which can affect your ability to get pregnant and health from your baby if you are pregnant. For this reason, our program in a natural conception to Chinese medicine not only in the treatment and optimizing the function of reproduction, it is actually making healthy couples.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine that treats a person according to their individual symptoms, rather than a western diagnosis. It uses a holistic approach and looks at person's lifestyle, as well as their physical and emotional problems. No two people will be treated in exactly the same way, even if they share the same western diagnosis

Acupuncture is thought to date as far back to 200 BCE, where the earliest written record of it can be found. Acupuncture works by regulating the flow of energy within the body. When a person's energy or qi is blocked or diminished, this can result in poor physical and emotional wellbeing. Fine acupuncture needles are inserted into specific points within the body, to help this energy flow more freely or to actually build upon the energy. Acupuncture is a safe and affective form of treatment for a wide variety of ailments and illness that range from emotional problems such as anxiety, depression, insomnia and stress as well as other conditions such as migraines, infertility, muscular skeletal conditions, arthritis and many more.

 Most patients find the treatment itself highly relaxing and all the needles that are used are extremely fine and do not cause pain on insertion. Needles are left in for approximately 20 minutes and during this time people fall into a highly relaxed state. Many people find themselves falling asleep while their bodies begin to re-balance themselves. Acupuncture is used not only as way of restoring ill health but also as way a preventative treatment. It can be incorporated into someone's weekly routine in the same way that a person may choose to go to the gym and eat a healthy, balanced diet.

In my own experience as a TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) acupuncturist I have found it to be successful with a broad range of issues. In particular people living in a western society find themselves working long hours and showing signs of increased stress, which can result in signs of high blood pressure. Along with long working hours often comes little time to spend on healthy meals and a need to unwind which may often include high consumptions of alcohol, smoking and drug takings; all of which have an effect on an individuals well being.

I have found acupuncture to have a profound effect on stress levels and allow a person to feel more harmonised and balanced. This gives a person more clarity to make better decisions and as a result can often lead to a healthier lifestyle.
