Fertility
- How does Chinese Medicine help and why is it so effective?
Many people who have had fertility
success with Chinese Medicine probably have no idea
how Chinese Medicine helps fertility, or gynaecological
issues. They are just thankful that it does!
Recent research shows that
acupuncture on its own can increase the pregnancy
rates of people using IVF by upto 40%. (It can deliver
the same rates for those not using IVF procedures
too.) The studies used showed that these success rates
could be achieved by using acupuncture
for just one day shortly before and
after the transfer of embryos. Wow! Just one day of
acupuncture can produce those results! And that's
just one study. Other studies and protocols can produce
even better results.
From my clinical experience, recent
research and experience of my professors, this rate
can be increased to around 70% by combining both
chinese herbs and acupuncture for, and support throughout,
IVF. These figures hold out for non-IVF patients
too. We must point out, however, that approximately
5% of couples will never be able to conceive despite
all combinations of both Chinese and Western treatment
methods.
Large numbers of patients who have
tried IVF several times and were unsuccessful, have
become pregnant soon after Chinese Medicine treatment.
Medical imaging shows that after acupuncture, the
colour of women's ovaries change from cloudy to
bright and clear. The follicles double in number
and the uterine lining becomes thicker. Patients
experience less side effects from the Western drugs
and feel better emotionally (that's a good thing).
In male patients, the sperm quality
significantly improves and the sperm count increases.
Research has now proved this. Research has also
shown that the healthier a male is at conception,
the healthier the sperm are, thus producing better
embryos. Unhealthy males, and especially smokers,
generally produce poorer embryos.
Chinese Medicine can improve fertility
and pregnancy rates in several ways:
improve ovarian function to produce
better quality eggs
regulate hormones to produce a
greater number of follicles
increase blood flow to the uterus
and increase the thickness of the uterine lining
relax the patient and decrease
stress levels (my favourite)
prevent the uterus from contracting
lessen the side effects of drugs
used in IVF and gynaecology
strengthen the immune system (very
important as Western Medicine treatments usually
decrease immunity)
improve the sperm count and motility
to produce better quality embryos
decrease and prevent the chances
of miscarriage
Just goes to show the difference between
falling pregnant and not falling pregnant. It's
just like an athlete preparing for a big race, those
who put in the training and get the body ready,
both physically and mentally, have a much better
chance of reaching the finishing line.
