What is the cause of Infertility?
Infertility, in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is viewed as a manifestation of internal imbalance and disharmony within the body.
The definition of infertility is when couples engage in regular sexual activity without using contraceptive methods for a year and still cannot conceive. For women over the age of 34, if pregnancy has not been achieved within six months, it is advisable to arrange an early consultation with a TCM practitioner to establish a favorable uterine environment.
Male fertility health also directly affects the possibility of conception, as the quality and quantity of sperm are crucial for successful pregnancy. Through the mutual efforts and support of both partners, the chances of conception can be more effectively improved.
TCM emphasizes the need to regulate Yin and Yang, unblock meridians, and replenish Qi and blood to restore internal balance, thereby promoting natural conception.
Infertility is caused when there is imbalance and disharmony in our body, resulting in difficulty to conceiving naturally. This may be caused by:
• Emotional disturbances
• Irregular diet
• Effects from our surrounding environment
• Lifestyle habits
• Genetics (Innate essence inherited from parents)
How does TCM treat Infertility?
- Holistic Approach: TCM looks beyond just reproductive organs when addressing infertility, considering the whole body and underlying imbalances. For example, one patient with unexplained infertility and cold sensitivity—but otherwise good health—saw improvement after TCM treatment for her cold symptoms. Soon after, she became pregnant. This demonstrates how a holistic approach can support successful outcomes where conventional focus may fall short.

How does TCM support IVF or eggs freezing?
With the success rates of IVF often falling short of expectations ranging from 30% to 50%—many patients begin to seek supplementary methods to enhance their chances of success.
Acupuncture and herbal treatments can effectively improve the conditions of the uterus and ovaries. Scientifically validated herbal medicines ensure no heavy metal residues and are prescribed by qualified practitioners to effectively support fertility.
Advantages of TCM in Supporting IVF
- Improving Ovarian Function
- Enhancing Uterine Lining Receptivity
- Reducing IVF-related Side Effects
- Regulating the Endocrine System
- Reducing Stress and Improving Emotional Well-being
- Increasing Blood Flow and Improving Uterine Environment
And similarly for women who want to freeze their eggs for future plan, TCM can support by rebalancing the body and improving the quality of their eggs.
