Treatment of Female Infertility A New Approach in Chinese Medicine

The following synopsis presents a new approach in treating female infertility developed by Dr. Samuel Wang at Acupuncture Herbal Center, San Rafael, California. The paper in its entirety was awarded Outstanding Achievement at the Fifth World Conference of Traditional Medicine in 2000. Dr. Wang is the founder of the latest microcosmic theory of Chinese medicine. In light of applying the philosophy of Chinese medicine to both microcosmic and macrocosmic views, he has integrated ancient Chinese medicine and the most advanced Western medical technologies in the field of female infertility. This new approach has succeeded in many difficult cases that had failed to respond to either conventional Western medicine or classical Chinese medicine. According to this new approach, the diagnostic procedure for female infertility first follows Western medical diagnosis of disease, and then each Western disease is subdivided into both microcosmic and macrocosmic patterns of Chinese medicine. For the different microcosmic and macrocosmic patterns, Dr. Wang has established a series of therapeutic protocols, including his unique herbal formulas and triple needle technique. His clinical studies show that this innovative method most effectively treats unexplained infertility in Western medicine, simple ovulatory dysfunction, luteal deficiency, cervical factors and immuno factors respectively. It can also effectively treat female infertility caused by endometriosis, polycystic ovaries, intrauterine factors, premature ovarian failure and obstruction of Fallopian tubes. Dr. Wang has opened a new avenue to the successful treatment of female infertility.
