Patient's question:
I have been married to my husband for a long time, but we have never been able to conceive a baby. Later, we went to the hospital for a check-up, and it turned out that neither of us had any issues that would prevent us from getting pregnant normally. Then, a friend suggested that I try moxibustion to see if it could help regulate my body.Doctor's answer:
There is no such thing as this. If everything is normal, it wouldn't be continuously infertile. Moxibustion has no direct connection with pregnancy. Fertilization is a complex physiological process that must meet the following basic conditions: ① The female's ovary normally releases mature eggs each month; ② The male can ejaculate during intercourse, with semen containing a normal number, shape, and vitality of sperm; ③ The female's fallopian tubes must be unobstructed, allowing sperm and eggs to meet and fertilize within the tubes; ④ The fertilized egg must be able to pass through the fallopian tubes into the uterine cavity and implant in the endometrium. Additionally, it's necessary to check whether there are any immune antibodies present in both partners. Any obstruction in any of these steps can lead to infertility. There are over 150 possible causes or factors contributing to infertility, which can exist in both partners or only in one partner. Therefore, it is essential for you to undergo early examination to identify the primary cause of infertility so that effective treatment can be administered.
