As we mentioned in previous articles, infertility is defined as inability of a couple to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse or can not carry the pregnancy to term. It effects over 5 millions couple alone in the U. S. and many times more in the world. Because of unawareness of treatments, only 10% seeks help from professional specialist. In this article, we will discuss what is 3 main organs In traditional Chinese medicine in treating infertility
I. Definition
TCM considers the kidneys, liver, and spleen as the 3 main organs which have a direct effect in men and women's reproductive system. Any deficiency of the above organs may cause yin and yang qi imbalance leading to infertility.
II. Diagnosis
1. Kidney
The kidney influences the function of sexual desire and regulates the adrenal gland in hormone production. Deficiency of kidney qi causes libido and irregular menstrual cycle, and abnormal menstruation.
2. Liver
In women, according to TCM, the liver is a vital organ in maintaining the levels of estrogen and progesterone thereby leading to normal ovulation and increasing the ability to release a healthy egg. Stagnation of liver qi also causes nervous system disorder including anxiety, stress, and depression, causing hormone imbalance and leading to infertility.
3. Spleen
The liver directly influences spleen function. Without a strong liver there is no treatment for spleen blockage and deficiency leading to abnormal implantation of the egg in the uterus lining.
Since TCM views our body as a whole, it is not about treating a part of the problem, unless it is necessary. Traditional Chinese medicine infertility treatment normally focuses on promoting the balance between organs, glands, and all other elements in the body.
