TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND INFERTILITY - PART III

Inrepparttar beginning sections of this article, we consideredrepparttar 114549 proper treatment methods of Traditional Chinese Medicine and The Four Examaminations, a method of diagnosis that dates back over three thousand years. We also looked atrepparttar 114550 mechanisms of action with TCM and accupuncture.

In this final section we will considerrepparttar 114551 combined diagnostics of Eastern and Western Medicine along withrepparttar 114552 uses of herbal medicine inrepparttar 114553 treatment of infertility.

A DIAGNOSTIC WINDOW - EAST MEETS WEST

One TCM diagnosis which exists and which may be etiologic for male or female infertility is called Liver qi stagnation. One ofrepparttar 114554 key identifiers of an individual withrepparttar 114555 pattern differentiation of Liver qi stagnation is anger, rage, frustration, depression and anxiety.

"Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger may help in determiningrepparttar 114556 nature of infertility experienced by some couples, and identify those who would benefit most from psychological counseling, suggest researchers.

Dr. Secondo Fassino (University School of Medicine, Turin, Italy) and colleagues recordedrepparttar 114557 personal characteristics of 156 infertile and 80 fertile couples, and measured their degree of psychopathology. Whenrepparttar 114558 researchers dividedrepparttar 114559 couples according torepparttar 114560 nature ofrepparttar 114561 infertility-organic, functional, or undetermined-they found thatrepparttar 114562 triad of anxiety, depression, and a tendency toward anger suppression successfully predictedrepparttar 114563 diagnosis of organic or functional infertility in women, with 97 percent accuracy.

For infertile men, anxiety was also an important independent predictor of functional infertility, increasingrepparttar 114564 likelihood of having this form of infertility five-fold, while depression was more predictive of organic infertility. However, with men - unlike women - anger did not appear to influence infertility in men.

The results suggestrepparttar 114565 possibility of identifying a subgroup of infertile subjects where, beyondrepparttar 114566 distress that is consequent torepparttar 114567 failure of repeated attempts to conceive a baby, there is also a poorly adaptive psychological functioning, which is likely to play an important role inrepparttar 114568 onset and course of functional infertility,"repparttar 114569 team concludes.”

It is becoming more and more prevalent that research conducted by Western scientists and physicians are highlightingrepparttar 114570 veracity and effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

HERBAL MEDICINE

The efficacy of herbal medicine in treating infertility is indisputable torepparttar 114571 patient community althoughrepparttar 114572 mechanism of action is not completely understood at this time. Similarlyrepparttar 114573 mechanism of action of tricyclic antidepressants is not fully understood in its effect on chronic pain (i.e., inrepparttar 114574 case of fibromyalgia), but its efficacy has been maintained.

Practitioners of Chinese herbal medicine rarely use a single herb in treatment. Chinese herbs are formula based; many herbs are mixed together to createrepparttar 114575 perfect 'decoction' specifically designed forrepparttar 114576 individual patient.
