In the USA, about 10 to 15% of the couples are infertile. There are many reasons or causes, such as stress, hormones, cyst, fibroids, and many others. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, we believe infertility is just the symptom in general. If a person’s body is balanced, then supposedly that person’s chance to get pregnant will be higher than not being balanced. For female, we usually start with tuning the menstrual cycle, so the length, period, volume, and everything could be normal. By doing so, the patient’s hormone will be adjusted as well. If there’s already a cyst or fibroid in the body, acupuncture and herbs have been proven effective in shrinking them. For male, the sperm count usually has something to do with kidney energy. So, we can boost up the kidney energy in order to boost up the count.
