Chinese Medicine and Fertility Treatment
The old fashioned term for Chinese Medicine (CM) was Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the modern world the term Traditional has started to be dropped as Chinese Medicine practitioners are now being trained in Medical Bioscience as well. Therefore the thinking is that Chinese Medicine is now modern. Those that are trained in human Biology and Chinese Medicine are now Doctors of Chinese Medicine.
CM has a long history of being able to help achieve pregnancy for women that have difficulty with conception.
Gynaecology is widely accepted as an area that CM is arguably the best in. CM is renowned for being able to regulate the Menstrual cycle and eliminating PMS, PMT, mood swings amd pain. In CM a child is created by the combining of the male and female Jing (Kidney Essence), this gives the unborn child its fundamental energy for life. Before the two essences can combine successfully there has to be healthy Jing from both mother and father. That is why it is often necessary to treat both the prospective mother and father.
Primarily, fertility is about making sure that the mother's cycle is regular, pain free, and without any complications. Because it is the combining of Kidney Jing, which is the base 'element' of the body's health, both must be in good order for the baby to be conceived.
Through primarily Herbal Medicines the body's rhythms and cycles are adjusted to achieve a balanced, healthy body for the baby to grow and prosper.
How long before I fall pregnant?
This is a common question asked, and the simple answer is that we cannot tell you. However, in CM Gynaecology, 3 cycles are required before we will say that a change has been effected. What this means is that before we would be likely to say an irregular cycle is now regular, it would have to arrive for 3 cycles on time. That is not to say that you may not fall pregnant within that time, but it is not likely.
I am in the IVF program, will that matter?
Herbal Medicine can help your body to be as healthy as possible, that means that egg production is easier and those eggs produced are healthier.
What happens after I fall pregnant?
Care doesn't stop once the good news happens. Mother and child are still important to us, and may need to be monitored or need to have some help from herbs along the way. Then there is also treatment after the great arrival.
Both mother and child may require help to recover to optimum health as soon as possible. New born babies are easily treated through the mother's milk.
All herbs used are TGA approved and regulated, therefore, in the hands of a qualified Dr of CM there are no risks to either mother or child.
