Traditional Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in improving the probability of conception

According to the daily mail of November 25, Australian scientists said that taking traditional Chinese herbal medicine for just four months can increase the probability of infertility women's pregnancy threefold, its curative effect is better than western medicine, and the economic and mental pressure on patients is far less than in vitro fertilization The research paper was published in the Journal of complementary medicine The research team of the University of Adelaide, funded by the Australian government, reviewed 8 clinical trials, 13 other studies and related case reports comparing the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine and IVF The study involved 1851 infertile women Among them, the results of clinical trials showed that in 4 months, compared with the use of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine increased the pregnancy rate of women by 3.5 times The study of 616 women showed that 50% of the women who received traditional Chinese medicine were pregnant, while only 30% of the women who received IVF were pregnant "Our systematic and quantitative analysis of previous research results shows that traditional Chinese herbal medicine is more effective in the treatment of women's infertility Compared with other methods, within four months, women treated with traditional Chinese medicine are twice as likely to be pregnant, achieving 60% of the pregnancy rate, while the standard western medicine can only achieve 30% of the pregnancy rate," the researchers said The reason for the difference is that the traditional Chinese medicine treatment will carefully analyze the menstrual cycle of women, and the evaluation of the quality of menstrual cycle is the basis of Chinese medicine treatment of female infertility " Professor Carlin Reid, who led the study at the University of Adelaide's School of health and clinical practice, said that one in six couples suffered from infertility, and that 20% of infertile people were "unable to explain" the cause of infertility "Compared with western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has a better understanding of menstrual disorders; compared with IVF, traditional Chinese medicine is cheaper and causes less mental burden to patients," she said Traditional Chinese medicine combined with modern medicine in the treatment of infertility, the economic pressure and mental pressure to people is also the smallest Gita nayanger, a professor of reproductive science at St George's Medical College in the UK, is using a gentler method of in vitro fertilization - in vitro culture of immature eggs (the method of acquiring the immature eggs of infertile women, ripening them through in vitro culture, combined with in vitro fertilization of mature sperm to treat infertility) to help people get pregnant She said the latest findings should be treated with caution "We should try to use the least invasive method to help our patients get pregnant, and if it doesn't work, then take drugs and other more invasive methods," she said Now, we urgently need to carry out a detailed study on these alternative therapies (such as traditional Chinese Medicine), monitor the hormone system and ovary in the body, so as to better clarify the working mechanism of these alternative therapies "
