Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the Management of Infertility/Subfertility

Infertility is typically defined as an inability to get pregnant after a year of unprotected intercourse. It is estimated that infertility affects one in seven couples in the UK although the incidence of infertility varies considerably across the world. In fact, zero chance of conceiving only occurs if both tubes are completely blocked, or if there is a premature menopause in the female partner; or if there is complete lack of sperm in the male partner. Most infertility is really some degree of subfertility.
