When couples face fertility challenges, it can be a difficult journey filled with uncertainty. It’s common to feel overwhelmed as both partners navigate this path together.

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)—such as IVF, IUI, and ICSI—offers valuable options for those seeking to conceive, yet these methods can involve considerable costs and emotional ups and downs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) takes a holistic approach to support fertility, helping couples conceive naturally. It can also complement ART to increase success rates, guiding you on your journey to parenthood.

Our practice is led by certified TCM practitioners, including our esteemed founder, Physician Cora Chen, who brings years of expertise and a deep understanding of women's health to guide you on your wellness journey.

FAQ

Common Questions About TCM Fertility Support

Infertility is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) [2] as a “disease of the reproductive system.” It is characterized by the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse.

Yes, TCM can safely complement Western fertility treatments. Acupuncture and herbal remedies may enhance IVF/IUI outcomes by improving reproductive organ health and reducing stress.

Results vary, but couples often see improvements within 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment, which includes acupuncture and herbal medication designed to balance Qi and Blood.

Typically, TCM fertility treatment is recommended once or twice a week, depending on individual needs. Your TCM physician will tailor the frequency to best support your journey towards natural conception.

Fertility issues can arise from various factors in both men and women, often influenced by hormonal, physical, and lifestyle elements. Here are some common causes:

Male infertility:

  • Low sperm count or motility: A reduced number of healthy sperm or poor sperm movement can hinder fertilisation.
  • Hormonal imbalances: Disruptions in testosterone or other hormones can impact sperm production and quality.
  • Lifestyle factors: Stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, and an unhealthy diet can negatively affect sperm health and fertility.

Female infertility:

  • Irregular menstrual cycles: Unpredictable ovulation makes it difficult to time conception accurately.
  • Blocked fallopian tubes: Obstructions prevent sperm from meeting the egg, often due to scarring or infections.
  • Hormonal imbalances: Issues with hormones like oestrogen and progesterone can interfere with ovulation and menstrual regularity.
  • Age-related factors: Female fertility naturally declines with age, especially after 35, due to decreased egg quality and quantity.
