Traditional Chinese Medicine Treats Infertility

　    According to the British "Daily Mail" report: Researchers believe that the use of traditional Chinese medicine can replace the use of Western medicine. Infertility Troubled couples may double their chances of getting pregnant. They found that this 2x faster improvement could be achieved in just 4 months of treatment from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

　　According to research by Ipsos Mori, at least 6 million Britons have consulted a Western or traditional Chinese herbalist in the past two years.

　　The latest research report by researchers from the University of Adelaide, Australia, detected 8 clinical trial, as well as 13 other related studies and comparisons, aimed at studying the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compared with Western medicine or in vitro baby Differences in Treatment. The study, funded by the Australian government, included 1,851 women with infertility problems and was published in the journal Medically Assisted Therapies. The results of the clinical trial found that women's chances of becoming pregnant increased by 3.5 times when compared with cases using traditional Chinese medicine versus Western medicine over 4 months. Other data showed that in a comparison involving 616 women, women who used traditional Chinese medicine had a 50% pregnancy rate, compared with a 30% success rate for those who received IVF.

　　From the overall analysis, we can conclude that during the 4 months of treatment and testing, women who used traditional Chinese medicine were twice as likely to become pregnant compared to those who used orthodox methods.

　　The study's authors said: "Our meta-analysis suggests that traditional Chinese herbal medicine treatments female infertility More effective. While an average 60% pregnancy rate can be achieved in just over four months, the same experiment resulted in only a 30% pregnancy rate using standard Western medication. ”

　　The study reported that the difference was due to careful analysis of the menstrual cycle, which in traditional Chinese medicine theory determines whether a woman is likely to become pregnant. The report states: “Assessment of the quality of the entire menstrual cycle is fundamental to the success of traditional Chinese medicine in treating female infertility. ”

　　Dr Karin Reid, from the University of Adelaide who led the study healthy And the School of Clinical Medicine, she said that one in six couples affected by infertility has an unexplained cause, and even after investigation, 20% of them still have unexplained infertility. She believes that traditional Chinese medicine has more knowledge about menstrual disorders than classic Western medicine treatment, and the price is much lower than expensive in vitro fertilization treatment, and the pressure is less. She further stated: “Infertility issues can be treated with integrated traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine to reduce the financial and emotional strain on people. ”

　　Geeta Nargund, who founded and serves as director of the fertility clinic in London's Harley Street, believes that the results of infertility treatments using in vitro maturation of egg cells or immature egg culture techniques should be treated with caution. She said: "Everything we should be doing is we should be able to use the least invasive method possible to help patients get pregnant, and if that doesn't work then we can move on to more invasive methods.

　　“What we urgently need are detailed studies of these alternative approaches (such as traditional Chinese medicine) that monitor what is happening to the hormonal system and ovaries in the body, so that we can see what the differences are between these different treatments. ”

　　“But we should not ignore the fact that Chinese herbal medicines have potent effects. They are considered natural, but they have strong effects on the body, which can be compared to the hyperstimulation syndrome we sometimes see after IVF treatments with Western medicine. ”

　　“Traditional Chinese medicine has potential risks and people should be alert to this," Ms. Geeta Nargund added.
