Understanding Infertility in Singapore
Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after a year or more of regular, unprotected intercourse. Common fertility challenges in Singapore include:
Egg Quality
- Definition: The viability of an egg to be fertilized and develop into a healthy embryo.
- Factors: Age is a crucial determinant, as the number and quality of eggs decline over time. Lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and environmental toxins also play a role.
Sperm Quality
- Definition: The ability of sperm to fertilize an egg, influenced by count, motility (movement), and morphology (shape).
- Factors: Age, genetics, lifestyle choices like smoking, and environmental toxins affect sperm quality.
How TCM Approaches Egg and Sperm Quality
TCM views infertility and suboptimal reproductive health as signs of underlying imbalances within the body. The theory of Yin-Yang, Qi (vital energy), and blood flow forms the basis of TCM’s approach to health. When it comes to egg and sperm quality, TCM aims to nourish the body’s reproductive system by balancing the flow of energy and blood.
Acupuncture
- Regulate Hormones Acupuncture can enhance the neuroendocrine system, regulating menstrual cycles and improving ovarian function.
- Increase Blood Flow Better blood circulation to reproductive organs ensures a healthier uterine lining and higher-quality eggs.
- Reduce Stress By calming the nervous system, acupuncture reduces stress hormones that negatively impact egg and sperm quality.
TCM Herbal Prescription
- Nourish Liver and Kidney Enhance egg and sperm quality.
- Boost Qi and Blood Circulation Improves Uterine health, promote regular menstrual cycles and egg quality.
- Strengthens Kidney 精 (Jing) Improves reproductive health and sperm motility.
TCM Complementing Fertility Treatment
Combination with ART
- TCM can complement assisted reproductive technology (ART) like IVF or IUI by preparing the body for conception.
- Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve ovarian response and uterine lining before embryo transfer.
Pre- and Post-Treatment Support
- Acupuncture before ART reduces anxiety and stress.
- Post-procedure, acupuncture and herbs promote implantation and reduce miscarriage risk.
Can TCM treatment really improve egg and sperm quality? Evidence suggests that the holistic nature of TCM can enhance reproductive health by restoring the body’s natural balance. By combining herbal medicine, acupuncture, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications, TCM provides a comprehensive approach that can significantly improve the quality of both eggs and sperm.
