Female health and fertility is intimately related to menstrual health. From a Chinese medical perspective, cyclical disorders are both indicative of and causal in subfertility.

​

The Acupuncture approaches to infertility treatment through improving the menstrual cycle by stimulating related areas and heating with TDP lamp or moxibustion.

 

Unlike assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which seek to override menstrual cycle difficulties by artificially controlling a woman’s cycle through pharmaceutical and surgical interventions, TCM considers delayed ovulation, excessive or scanty menstrual flow, dysmenorrhea, premenstrual symptoms, and short or long menstrual cycles as diagnostic signs, and a means through which interventions can enhance reproductive health.
