Patient's question:
I heard that eating fetal placenta can treat infertility. Is that true? Is there any evidence for this? If it really is the case, how should it be consumed?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Couples of childbearing age living together for 1 year, with normal sexual life, and never using any contraceptive measures, but unable to conceive, are referred to as infertile. Infertility is divided into primary infertility and secondary infertility. I don't know what factors or causes have led to your infertility? Infertility is not a simple disease; it is a comprehensive disease caused by more than 150 factors or causes.Factors related to the female: Ovarian issues, tubal diseases, uterine cavity, cervical issues, vaginal issues, immunological antibodies (more than 20 types), and other diseases.
Factors related to the male: Abnormal semen (e.g., non-liquefaction, inflammation, acidic or alkaline imbalance), obstruction of the spermatic ducts, genital malformations, and systemic diseases. Additionally, there are common factors for both partners: lack of sexual knowledge, immunological factors (antibodies present in both partners), psychological factors or causes (e.g., excessive stress), etc. Only by relying on advanced modern medicine to accurately analyze multiple causes and provide targeted treatment can infertility be cured.
It is recommended that both of you choose a specialized hospital for a comprehensive and systematic examination to identify the root cause and receive symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health!
