New Year, Time For New Options Pt. I

TCM is a method of healing the entire body, and works towards bringing it back into balance. To help better explain this, if a woman were to see a TCM practioner, she would be fully examined and asked several questions about her diet, lifestyle, medications she is taking, stresses she is under, and other questions that may not seem relevant to her "infertility" condition. The practioner then prescribes herbs, acupuncture, dietary, lifestyle changes or a combination of these to help her bring her body back into balance. For a better explanation of TCM and how it relates to treating infertility, I strongly recommend that you read the book "The Infertility Cure" by Randine Lewis, Ph. D.

Other non-invasive options include quitting smoking, eating a balanced diet, getting more exercise, and if you are over or under weight, bringing your weight back to a recommended level. You also might want to take the Introduction to Infertility course that is available at Suite University. This course will inform you about suspecting, diagnosing, and testing for infertility, discuss different doctors, and treatment options including alternative treatment options.

The next article in this series will explore some low-tech treatment options that you may want to explore.
