Fertility Treatment

Treatment of fertility in Chinese medicine is aimed at bringing back a balance in the system that creates an environment suitable for conception.

This may involve:


  • adjusting hormone levels
  • addressing any menstrual issues
  • treatment of any underlying pathologies that are interfering with conception eg endometriosis, fibroids, polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS), ovarian cysts etc
  • treatment of stress or emotional issues that are interfering with conception

Treatment involves

  1. taking herbs daily
  2. acupuncture at particular intervals of the menstrual cycle
  3. changes to diet/lifestyle(if necessary)

What you should bring if you are coming in for a fertility consult:

  • any relevant blood tests & your follicular stimulating hormone level(or FSH) if it is known.
  • any basal body temperature(BBT) charts that may have previously been filled out.
  • sperm analysis tests from partner.
