Hi Zhen Yi,
Thanks for the D2D. If, despite regular unprotected intercourse, pregnancy does not occur after six months to a year, then the couple may be facing fertility problem.
It is an increasingly common problem in modern societies, affecting 10-15% Singaporean couples. If you are unable to conceive after 6 months to a year of trying, it is better to seek medical evaluation and help.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, we understand the body as an organic whole where the internal body is in tune with one’s social and external environment. We treat holistically, taking into account your physical, emotional and spiritual aspect.
Maintaining balance between yin and yang, qi and blood is essential to good physical and mental health. A TCM diagnosis focuses on finding the body’s imbalance and seeks to bring it back to balance. By doing so, all systems will work more efficiently, including your reproductive organs.
A couple is encouraged to consult the TCM physician together. In a typical TCM consultation, I will be asking you a series of questions pertaining to your fertility and menstrual period. Other questions include diet, lifestyle, sleeping pattern, stress level, bowel movement, past/current illness, family history and emotions.
Combining with TCM unique diagnostic methods, which involve observation, smelling and pulse taking, I will be able to properly diagnose your condition and advise you on the course of treatment to boost fertility.
