In our modern world we often prioritize everything except for sleep. Many of us don’t sleep enough or have poor sleeping habits. It might not be self evident that the amount and quality of sleep we get every night may affect our chances to get pregnant.

Chinese medicine, fertility and bbt charting

6/7/2018

Today more than 6 million women in the United States struggle with infertility.
Sadness of not being able to conceive a child naturally breaks any cultural and idealogical boundaries, and very often both Western medicine and Chinese medicine have to work together to make a dream come true for couples. While the two approaches are different in their core, each has its own merits.

servical mucus and fertility

6/7/2018

0 Comments

 
When it comes to fertility treatment, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners pay special attention to the quality and quantity of cervical mucus, especially if sperm number and motility are low. 
​
The changes in vaginal discharge signify changes in the level of fertility. There are four types of mucus produced by specialized glands in the cervix according to the level of fertility: 
G-type (thick and impenetrable, produced during infertile times), 
L-type (more liquid), 
S-type (egg-white-like and has elasticity, produced as ovulation approaches),
P-type (rich in potassium, extremely lubricative, during the ovulation).

It has been observed by some acupuncturists including myself that the mucus produced by the cervix in women, who have been taking contraceptive pills, is mostly the G-type, even though ovulation may be occurring. Since the G-type mucus is thick and impenetrable, the sperm can not get to the cervix. This unfortunate condition might last for more than a year and might be accompanied by other post-pill imbalances. 

It has been also noticed that different types of prescription drugs might change either quality or quantity of fertile mucus and thus contribute to the difficulty getting pregnant. Specifically, antibiotics might impair fertile mucus by provoking an overgrowth of vaginal candida; antidepressants sometimes reduce the number of days fertile mucus is produced; and antihistamines can dry fertile mucus. 
​
There are acupuncture protocols and Chinese herbal formulas, which address the issues of inadequate fertile mucus. It is also seems beneficial to explore different options when it comes to using prescription drugs for contraception, depression and other issues, if we plan to become parents in the nearest future.

Infertility: restoring childbearing function with Chinese medicine and what to keep in mind

There are several things a couple might need to consider before starting fertility acupuncture.
​
A very important question is whether you prefer to take Chinese herbs only or to combine it with acupuncture treatments. This choice is especially important for men because it will take no less than 4 months to activate sperm production by the body and to increase the sperm count when being treated with Chinese herbal medicine. It takes about 74 days to have new sperm matured fully.

Endometriosis is a painful, chronic disease that affects millions women worldwide.

It occurs when the endometrium (tissue that lines the uterus) is found outside the uterus, usually on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, possibly bladder and other locations. This tissue develops into growths and behaves the same way as the tissue of the uterine lining in menstrual cycle, however it has no way of leaving the body. This results in inflammation, pain, bleeding, infertility and other issues.

All dysfunctions of the female reproductive organs including infertility, Chinese doctors connected to pathology of the meridian  (and organ itself) of the liver, because the liver meridian is situated around the reproductive organs. Depending on its severity and history, the dysfunction might be related to the syndrome of “emptiness” of the liver or the syndrome of “fullness” of the liver. In case of chronic illness, the syndrome of “emptiness” of the liver meridian presents itself with the syndrome of “emptiness” of the kidneys and “emptiness” of the heart.
