Reproductive Problems

Reproductive problems can affect both men and women and may include conditions such as infertility, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, irregular menstrual cycles, low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, and recurrent miscarriages. These issues can stem from various factors, including hormonal imbalances, stress, lifestyle, and underlying health conditions. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) offers a holistic approach to managing these conditions by addressing root causes, balancing energy (Qi), and promoting overall reproductive health.

TCM for Infertility and Reproductive Problems
