Infertility is the inability to conceive a child after one year of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, structural abnormalities, and underlying health conditions. Infertility can affect both men and women, and it is estimated to affect around 15% of couples globally.

Overview of Inertility
Infertility can be diagnosed through a variety of tests, including blood tests to assess hormone levels and imaging tests to evaluate the reproductive organs. Treatment for infertility may include medication, surgery, assisted reproductive technologies (such as in vitro fertilization), or lifestyle changes.
It is important to note that infertility can be a complex and emotionally difficult condition, and seeking support from a healthcare provider, mental health professional, or support group can be helpful.
Chinese Medicine Treatment of Infertility
In Chinese medicine, infertility is often treated with acupuncture and herbal medicine. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the flow of qi (life energy) and promote healing. Herbal medicine involves the use of plant-based remedies to treat a variety of conditions, including infertility.
Chinese medicine practitioners may also recommend dietary and lifestyle changes as part of treatment for infertility. For example, they may advise avoiding certain foods or engaging in activities that promote good circulation and hormonal balance.
