1.5 out of every 10 people are infertile! TCM constitution adjustment + Western medicine test tube treatment can reverse the bad "pregnancy" mood of expectant parents
1.5 out of 10 people in the world are infertile? What are the causes of infertility?
According to a survey released by the World Health Organization (WHO), about 15% of adults worldwide suffer from infertility. It can be seen that the consequences of infertility are far more serious than what the public thinks. Dr. Chen Yujuan, director of Taipei Yiyun Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, said that there are many causes of infertility, such as premature ovarian failure, polycystic ovary syndrome, adenomyosis, fallopian tube obstruction, pelvic infection, etc. in women; or varicocele in men. , Insufficient sperm number, insufficient sperm motility and abnormal sperm patterns may lead to infertility.
However, through appropriate intervention of traditional Chinese medicine, may it be helpful to infertility? Dr. Chen Yujuan said that there was a previous case of a 38-year-old female who was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure at the age of 38. The anti-Müllerian hormone value (AMH) was only 0.013. The IVF treatment also failed and she was under observation for nearly a year. After failing to find follicles, the woman decided to use egg donation to have a child out of frustration.
Dr. Chen Yujuan pointed out that according to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, she first started with soothing the liver and regulating qi, nourishing yin and calming the nerves, combined with acupuncture conditioning, and then used the method of “nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney” to improve the condition of unobservable follicles. After conditioning, the follicles looked like “Bamboo shoots after rain” appeared, and eggs were retrieved three times in one cycle. One, two, and three eggs were retrieved for the first, second, and third times respectively, and all were successfully fertilized.
The embryo that was successfully removed for the third time was successfully cultured to the 5th day blastocyst, which was also successfully implanted. Finally, a baby girl was successfully delivered in the near future. Dr. Chen Yujuan said that the special TCM methods of “soothing the liver and regulating qi” and “nourishing yin, nourishing the kidneys and regulating the liver” do have unique effects in improving women’s menstrual cycle and hormonal regulation. In addition to raising eggs, endometrium, and pre-sperm eugenic conditioning, Chinese medicine is also very effective in raising and protecting fetuses.
Is it okay to see a Chinese medicine doctor if you have infertility problems? Can cooperation with Western medicine help you conceive?
Dr. Chen Yujuan pointed out that the three major stages of female physical conditioning are adolescence, confinement, and menopause. TCM gynecology has its own unique conditioning methods; recurrent miscarriage, morning sickness, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes are commonly encountered in clinical practice. , gestational hypertension, urticaria of pregnancy, and even oligohydramnios, delayed baby growth, and frequent uterine contractions in early pregnancy can also be alleviated through traditional Chinese medicine.
As for whether I should see Chinese medicine or Western medicine if I want to get pregnant? Dr. Chen Yujuan explained that traditional Chinese medicine assists in raising eggs, nourishing sperm, regulating menstruation and adjusting the endometrium to achieve the goal of natural pregnancy. However, it also hinders the limits of traditional medicine, which requires the use of in vitro fertilization treatments on a case-by-case basis. Couples from these ethnic groups will use traditional Chinese medicine to recuperate their physiques and illnesses, plus the help of reproductive medicine, to jointly achieve their fertility goals.
Couples should prepare for pregnancy for three months and work closely with doctors to help them get pregnant.
Dr. Chen Yujuan suggests that couples can reserve 3 months in advance for physical conditioning during pregnancy preparation, which can prevent future poor health conditions, such as morning sickness, pregnancy prurigo, urticaria, high blood pressure or gestational diabetes, etc., and also avoid having bad health conditions. I don’t dare to conceive a second child because of my pregnancy impressions. Pregnant mothers should regard pregnancy preparation as a “sprint class” instead of “Buddhist management” to slowly adjust the body and wait for a miracle.
The cause of infertility may be related to both couples, but how can boys and girls increase their fertility? Dr. Chen Yujuan suggests that women (pregnant mothers) should observe their menstrual cycle, the quality and color of menstrual blood, stay away from environmental hormones in their diet, and avoid staying up late and not overuse their bodies. In terms of mood adjustment, it is recommended not to overuse social media. Build your own support system and be open to the consequences of trying to conceive.
For men, it is recommended to avoid sitting for long periods of time, stay away from overheated environments, and develop a habit of exercise, which will help increase sperm activity. In addition, excessive work pressure may affect sperm quality, and it is recommended to develop their own channels or measures to relieve stress. Finally, you should avoid bottled drinks, plastic bags and other ingredients containing plasticizers in your diet. If you have suffered from various diseases in the past, you should have thorough diagnosis and treatment to avoid affecting the pregnancy preparation process.
