reproductive health therapist

A truly compliant reproductive health conditioner is a professional service provider who relies on professional knowledge such as reproductive medicine, preventive medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine to provide daily maintenance of the reproductive system, identification of abnormal signals, postoperative/postpartum rehabilitation guidance, and lifestyle intervention for people of all ages. They are neither "sales of health care products based on words" as mentioned online, nor are they "miracle doctors" who can cure all diseases. Our core role is actually to help everyone build a buffer bridge between "daily maintenance" and "clinical treatment."

I just received a positive pregnancy test report from 32-year-old Ms. Lin last week. She had been trying to get pregnant for 14 months without any news. She had gone through a long list of pitfalls: she drank folk remedies to stimulate ovulation for half a year, bought more than 3,000 yuan of magnetic uterine warmers to bind her belly every day, and even heard from people in a beauty salon that "the uterine cavity is toxins." When she came to my place, she was still dubious. I first looked through her physical examination report for the past three months, and then asked her about her work and rest habits. I found that she sat for more than 10 hours a day while doing design work, and she always kept iced coffee in hand during her menstrual period. Six hormone tests showed that the luteal corpus function was slightly weak, so there was no major problem at all. I didn’t prescribe any sky-high-priced products to her, but gave her two directions: If she believed more in the logic of modern medicine, she could measure her basal body temperature at a fixed time every day, and follow the doctor’s advice to take progesterone supplements for a week after ovulation. ； If you are worried about the side effects of taking medicine, do lumbosacral moxibustion three times a week, replace iced coffee with warm black bean water, and stand up and walk for 10 minutes every day. She chose the latter and became pregnant in two and a half months.

In fact, there has never been a unified standard answer within our industry when it comes to conditioning plans. Conditioners with a background in Western medicine pay more attention to indicator data and will give priority to recommending users to improve problems through hormone regulation and precise nutritional supplements. ； Conditioners trained by traditional Chinese medicine practitioners are more interested in overall physical adjustment. Moxibustion, medicated diet, and meridian dredging are all commonly used methods. Some colleagues have argued with me before, saying that the improvement of luteal function by moxibustion is a placebo effect, and it is not as direct as taking medicine. On the contrary, I feel that there is no need to compete. If users can persist, have no side effects, and finally have an effect, it is a good solution.

To be honest, people are very prejudiced against our profession now, and we really can’t blame ordinary people. When I first entered the industry, I worked in a commercial institution. The boss gave us training. In the first class, we learned how to create anxiety for customers: the 20-year-old said that she would not be able to conceive in the future due to a cold uterus, the 30-year-old who had given birth said that her pelvic floor was loose and she would leak urine sooner or later, and the 40-year-old said that she would have premature ovarian failure and would soon undergo menopause. The purpose is to trick people into buying "conditioning packages" worth tens of thousands of yuan, such as "hand-made vagina shrinkage", "ovary maintenance essential oil" and "uterine detoxification gel", which cost tens of yuan but dare to sell for thousands. I quit after less than a week - this kind of person is not a conditioner, he is obviously a liar who uses our name to defraud money.

People often ask me as soon as they come up, "Can my 3cm uterine fibroid be treated and eliminated?" "I am HPV16 positive, do you have any medicine to turn it negative?" When encountering this situation, my first reaction is to advise her to go to the hospital to find a gynecologist. This is already a problem that requires clinical intervention. We conditioners have no medical qualifications and must not touch the boundaries of treatment. This is the most basic professional bottom line.

If you really need to find a reproductive health conditioner, don't be afraid of stepping into a trap. Just observe two details: first, whether he will diagnose you and sell products right away. A regular conditioner will first ask about your complete medical history, reproductive history, and living habits. They will even take the initiative to ask for your physical examination report in the past six months for reference. They won't even ask if you have a history of allergies, and they will say you have a problem and it will cost you money, and then just turn around and leave.； The second is to look at qualifications. Nowadays, regular reproductive health conditioners must undergo systematic training from institutions recognized by the National Health Commission or the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. They must pass the assessment and obtain a certificate before they can work. Do you dare to hand over your body to someone who claims that he has a "secret recipe passed down from his ancestors" and "quick fix in three days"?

I have been doing this for almost 8 years. I have come into contact with young girls who just entered junior high school and were afraid to tell their parents because of the pain of having sex. I have also come into contact with aunts in their sixties who are too embarrassed to go to the hospital because of senile vaginitis. To put it bluntly, our profession is more like you know about reproductive health. Old friends, you don’t have to wait until the problem is serious enough to go to the hospital before you think of us. If your aunt is delayed for more than ten days, if your private parts are a little itchy and uncomfortable, if you are confused about pregnancy preparations, or if you have hot flashes and can’t sleep well during menopause, you can ask us first. We can help you avoid many detours and waste a lot of money. Of course, if it is found that there is an organic problem, we should register and receive treatment. We must not force it, and do not believe in any nonsense that medical treatment can cure all diseases.
