How Traditional Chinese Medicine can help Infertility
Infertility is a condition in which two people cohabit for more
than two years without using contraception and still being unable
to produce children. There are four types of inferitility: a) primary
infertility b) secondary infertility c) absolute infertility d)
relative infertility. Female infertility may be because of irregular
or no ovulation, blocked tubes etc. while male infertility could
be a result of low sperm count or defective sperms. According to
the Traditional Chinese Medicine, the mechanism of infertility is
due to the insufficiency of kidney essence, deficiency of Qi and
blood, heat in the liver and stagnancy of qi, obstruction of phlegm
and stasis of blood, coagulation of cold in womb and so on.
