TCM with Assisted Fertility Treatment

Even the most sophisticated assisted conception techniques can benefit from a helping hand. So whatever the nature of your fertility problem, our TCM treatments can help maximise your chances of success

Less treatment cycles, less invasive procedures, more healthy babies

By improving the quality of eggs and sperm, improving your reproductive system’s blood flow and balancing hormone levels, TCM gives you the best chance of achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. As a result, the amount of assisted fertility cycles you have can be reduced or you can opt for less invasive assisted fertility procedures than might otherwise be possible.

Since it normally takes time for a patient to benefit from Traditional Chinese Medicine, we recommend starting this treatment before you embark on assisted fertility treatment.

Research proves the positive effects of TCM

A recent study we carried out, in collaboration with the University of Kent, clearly demonstrated that the Chinese herbs used in our TCM treatments significantly reduced the proportion of chromosomal abnormalities in the sperm of infertile men. This is of particular relevance in severe cases of male infertility, where the recommended treatment is Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), which involves the microinjection of a single sperm into an egg. When more healthy sperm are produced, following TCM, patients can attempt less invasive and less expensive procedures such as IUI or IVF. Plus, because you aren’t potentially perpetuating any chromosomal abnormalities, which may be present in the sperm, you’re helping to make our next generation healthier.

Experience has also shown that many patients with severe PCOD have achieved a spontaneous pregnancy through an integrated fertility treatment and TCM.
