Infertility Problem

Dear Dr. Kejian,

My husband and I are trying to have children since more than two years and I have never been pregnant. We went last May to an infertility clinic and the doctor told us that my husband's semen was amorphous. He told us it was not impossible to have a baby in a natural way, but that we would have more possibilities with IV. We tried 2 times IV, without success and I didn't want to try more times, because the pills made me feel more sad and I was very disappointed.

I would like to know if you think we would have possibilities with an acupuncture treatment. I am healthy, but perhaps my problem is also "the obsession" to have children, and this make me be worried and sad.

Do you accept insurance?

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely,

- M.

Thank you for contacting me. Based on your description, seems to me your problem is caused by male reproductive dysfunction leading to infertility.

TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) is effective in improving the functionality of male reproductive system, such as impotence, spermorrhea/spontaneous emission, sperm quality and quantity, and morphologic abnormality. Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture combined treatments have shown higher clinical success rate than using acupuncture alone.

Based on lab reports, certain percentage of infertility is caused by inappropriate life style, diet, stress, or emotional “obsession”. Part of my treatment combined with life style and dietetic adjustment, which has shown good results in treating reproductive problems.

Some insurance plan covers acupuncture therapy for infertility. You can check it through your insurance provider. We can also help you to find out your coverage and benefit, and file claims on behalf of you as well.

Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Kejian
