TCM fertility treatment is suitable for individuals and couples who are trying to conceive naturally or alongside assisted reproductive technologies like IVF and IUI.
It is especially helpful for those who want to improve reproductive health, optimise egg or sperm quality, or regulate hormonal balance before conception.

During your first visit, we will assess and identify the issues affecting your fertility. We strongly encourage patients to come for TCM treatment ideally 3 months before the start of your IVF cycle. We will develop a customised TCM treatment approach for you and a combination of TCM treatment modalities will be used. Basal Body Temperature(BBT) charting may be required as well. In order to successfully carry out an IVF/ET or ICSI/ ET treatment, it is important to treat any imbalances in the patient’s body by means of TCM and treatment takes time.

Other than post-miscarriage, Chinese Medicine is also actively used as a treatment for missed, incomplete, and complete miscarriages, which helps to improve the blood circulation so as to stimulate uterine contractions and empty the uterus.

In TCM, miscarriage is defined as “fetal irritability” or “fetal restlessness,” while recurrent miscarriage is called “stirring fetus”. The definition and symptoms of miscarriage in TCM is similar to that of Western Medicine. The presentations of miscarriage are similar, mainly with abdominal pains and vaginal bleeding. But unlike mainstream Western Medicine, TCM has its unique medical theory to comprehend miscarriage.

“Qi” and “Blood” are the two basic elements involved in diagnosing and treating miscarriage. The major causes of threatened miscarriage include

• Kidney Deficiency
• Qi Deficiency
• Blood Deficiency
• Blood Heat
• External Injury

Above are the differential syndromes associated with TCM and each presents with different symptoms. Only a skilled and certified physician can help to diagnose and treat. Self-diagnosis and treatment is strictly prohibited.

Chinese Medicine is also actively used as a treatment for missed, incomplete, and complete miscarriages, which helps to improve the blood circulation so as to stimulate uterine contractions and empty the uterus.

A common concern from our patients is that by preventing miscarriage, they fear intervening with nature and thus increasing the chance of delivering an abnormal baby. This is absolutely NOT TRUE because if your miscarriage is due to a genetic factor, unfortunately the treatments I am going to recommend is not going to prevent miscarriage. However, if the miscarriage is due to other reasons such as hormonal imbalance, blood-clotting problem, then treating this problem not only reduce the risk of miscarriage, it also improves your child’s health.
