Can Traditional Chinese Medicine help infertility?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is very effective for functional infertility. In cases of structural problems causing infertility, such as obstructed fallopian tubes, a western medical intervention would be appropriate.

Traditional Chinese Medicine has been shown through studies to be beneficial in affecting the reproductive functioning of both men and women. A variety of acupuncture treatments, as well as Chinese herbal medicine formulas, have been uses for thousands of years to deal with reproductive issues.

Recent studies also present evidence that using Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) adjunctively with western medicine can increase the effectiveness of western treatments. Acupuncture used with IVF treatment increase the success of IVF by 40%.
