Patient's question:
A friend has been divorced for seven or eight years and has been unable to conceive. Additionally, her menstrual cycle has been irregular, with heavier flow and longer duration, and she experiences missed periods. After a thorough examination, the doctor said it was due to menstrual disorders causing infertility. How is infertility treated? Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine?Doctor's answer:
The causes of infertility are multifaceted, and it is necessary to consider visiting a major hospital's infertility department for improved relevant examinations to confirm the diagnosis. Then, targeted symptomatic treatment should be considered. If necessary, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be chosen for symptomatic treatment, which tends to be relatively effective. For severe infertility, surgery may be required to resolve the issue. In some cases, assisted reproductive technologies can also be used in conjunction with treatment.
