1 ANTA PROFESSIONAL SEMINAR Achieving healthy MOTHERHOOD with Chinese Herbal Medicine
2 FERTILITY
3 FERTILITY Normal fertility depends upon the following factors: The integrity of the female and male reproductive tracts The release of a normal oocyte The production and release of adequate spermatozoa The normal transport of the gametes to the ampullary portion of the fallopian tubes for fertilization The subsequent transport of the cleaving embryo to the endometrial cavity for normal implantation and further development.
4 FERTILITY
5 INFERTILITY Definition: Failure to conceive after one year (used to be 2 years) of sexual activity without contraception, even though both parties are healthy. ~ 80% of couples attempting to conceive are successful after six months; ~ 90% after 1 year; and ~ 95% after 2 years. Currently, about 17% of couples in developed countries seek medical advice for infertility. Due to later childbearing in Western countries and impatience, women often come for assistance after 6 months ( only ~ 50% infertile or subfertile). ~ 50% of women with difficulty conceiving have nothing wrong ( treat for stress)
6 CAUSES Female factors: 46-58% (possibly less) Male factors: 18-25% (possibly more) Male and female combined: 18.5% Unknown etiology: 10-25% ( often go on to conceive) Other causes: 5% FEMALE INFERTILITY Common known causes Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) Endometriosis Environmental and occupational factors (exposure to poisons, oestrogenic chemicals, etc.) Toxic effects related to tobacco, marijuana, or other drugs Exercise (too much or too little) Inadequate diet associated with extreme weight loss or gain Advanced age
7 MAJOR KNOWN CAUSES of FEMALE INFERTILITY Ovulatory failure (mostly due to hormonal factors) Tubal damage Endometriosis Medical drugs, e.g. non steroidal antiinflammatory (NSAIDS)
8 CURRENT MEDICAL TREATMENTS Ovulatory failure: Clomifene IVF Metformin Tubal damage: IVF (possibly also: tubal flushing with oil soluble media; tubal surgery before IVF) Endometriosis: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) plus gonadotrophins. Laparoscopic ablation of endometrial deposists IVF
9 MEDICAL TREATMENT OUTCOMES IVF: 21.8% live birth rate per treatment cycle. If the woman s age is less than 38 years this is increased to 25.1%. After five attempts, approximately 50% of women under 34 years will have conceived. (Cost = approx. $4,000 per cycle) Tubal surgery: 5% - 50% depending on the extent of tubal damage. Clomiphene citrate: With the achievement of 3 consecutive ovulatory cycles, 40-50% of women will become pregnant.
10 TCM TREATMENT RESEARCH Dharmananda, S. (1996). Chinese Herbs And Fertility. From ITM Online, Articles. (Chinese studies conducted up to 1996) clinical studies conducted in China indicate that about 70% of all cases of infertility (male and female) treated by Chinese herbs resulted in pregnancy or restored fertility. Depending on the particular study and the types of infertility treated, success rates ranged from about 50% up to more than 90%.
11 TCM TREATMENT RESEARCH Yu, J. (1998). Obstetrics and Gynecology in Chinese Medicine An Integrated approach. Seattle, WA: Eastland Press In experimental animals and in vitro, herbs which tonify the Kidneys can increase LH secretions and can increase the progesterone contents in the corpus luteum of pseudo pregnant rats. (Yu, 1998, p.75 (i.e. herbal treatments that tonify the Kidney normal growth of secretory endometrium in luteal phase and in pregnancy)
12 TCM TREATMENT RESEARCH Huang, S., Chen, A. (2008). Traditional Chinese medicine and infertility. Curr Opin Obstet Gynecol; 20(3):211-5 Recent studies demonstrated that traditional Chinese medicine could regulate the gonadotropin-releasing hormone to induce ovulation and improve the uterus blood flow and menstrual changes of endometrium. In addition, it also has impacts on patients with infertility resulting from polycystic ovarian syndrome, anxiety, stress and immunological disorders. (i.e. promote normal, healthy functions and also restore fertility)

14 SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OF TCM Tan, L., Tong, Y.,Sze, S., Xu, M., Shi, Y., Song, X., Zhang, T. (2012). Chinese herbal medicine for infertility with anovulation: a systematic review. J Altern Complemen Med; 18(12): CHM significantly increased the pregnancy rate and reduced the miscarriage rate compared to clomiphene. CHM also increased the ovulation rate and improved the cervical mucus score compared to clomiphene. CHM is effective in treating infertility with anovulation. Also, no significant adverse effects were identified for the use of CHM
15 SYSTEMATIC REVIEWS OF TCM Ried, K., Stuart, K. (2011). Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine in the management of female infertility: a systematic review. Complement Ther Med; 19(6): Meta-analysis of RCTs suggested a 3.5 greater likelihood of achieving a pregnancy with CHM therapy over a 4-month period compared with WM drug therapy alone Meta-analysis of selected cohort studies (n = 616 women) suggested a mean clinical pregnancy rate of 50% using CHM compared with IVF (30%)
16 CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE IS MORE EFFECTIVE
17 TCM APPROACH According to the Huang Di Nei Jing ( Yellow Emperor s Classic of Medicine, circa 1 st Century BCE): In general the reproductive physiology of woman is such that at seven years of age her Kidney energy becomes full, her permanent teeth come in and her hair grows long. At fourteen years the tian gui (or fertility essence ) matures and the chong and ren channels responsible for conception open, menstruation begins and conception is possible.. At forty nine years the chong and ren channels are completely empty, and the tian gui has dried up. Hence the flow of the menses ceases and the woman is no longer able to conceive. (Ni, 1995, p. 2)
18 HUANG DI NEI JING
19 THE KIDNEY IN TCM
20 THE KIDNEY IN TCM The Kidney stores Essence and therefore controls growth, development and reproduction The Kidney produces the bone marrow, fills the brain, and controls the bones The Kidney governs fluid metabolism The Kidney receives and absorbs the Qi from the Lung The Kidney Yin and Yang are the basis of the Yin and Yang of all the other organs The Kidney governs the Fire of the Life Gate The ears are the signaling sense organ of the Kidney The genitals, urethra and anus are controlled by the Kidney The Kidney houses the zhi (will, determination, concentration and memory) The condition of the Kidney is manifest in the hair on the head Mucoid saliva is the fluid secretion that relates to the Kidney
21 THE KIDNEY ESSENCE Kidney Essence (KE) is a very broad concept that includes a variety of complex phenomena. There are two aspects: reproductive Essence (RE) and the nutritive Essence (NE). RE: tissues and fluid secretions that are involved in human reproduction; controls sexual maturation, fertility and the capacity to reproduce. NE: controls the whole life cycle: growth and development, maturation, decline and senescence. KE is continually being used up and requires constant replenishment, which is provided by the activities of the Spleen. The Kidney s capacity to store Essence steadily declines with age; this is part of the reason for the decline in function that occurs with normal ageing. Chronic illness, overindulgence in sex, immoderate use of alcohol and recreational drugs may cause a more rapid loss of Essence.
22 KIDNEY ESSENCE DEFICIENCY Sexual hypofunction (infertility, loss of libido and impotence) Early ageing: premature graying of the hair, hair loss, loose teeth Dizziness or vertigo, tinnitus, poor memory, sleep disturbance, hearing loss Pain and weakness of the low back and knees Emaciation Severe fatigue Tongue is red and peeled (if with Kidney Yin deficiency) or pale and swollen (if with Kidney Yang deficiency) Pulse is weak and rapid (Kidney Yin deficiency predominant) or deep, weak and possibly also slow (Kidney Yang deficiency predominant)
23 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Two major categories of infertility/subfertility: Hormonal Structural (i.e. obstructive) Basic differentiation in TCM: Deficiency syndromes ( hormonal) Excess syndromes ( structural / obstructive)
24 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS Deficiency: Kidney Essence deficiency Qi-Blood dual deficiency Excess: Qi stagnation and Blood stasis Phlegm-Damp retention
25 CLINICAL SYNDROMES Kidney Essence deficiency (deficiency) Qi-Blood dual deficiency (deficiency) Qi stagnation and Blood stasis (excess) Phlegm-Damp retention (excess) Clinically these syndrome patterns generally occur in combinations (i.e. women usually present with mixed deficiency and excess patterns) True infertility or subfertility generally involves at least some degree of Kidney Essence deficiency (may be less than 50% of women presenting in clinic)

36 DURATION OF TREATMENT Generally it takes 3 4 cycles to restore normal functioning (less for younger, more for older women).

Women with more severe pathology (e.g. endometriosis, PCOS, scarring from prolonged PID) and older age group may need up to 12 months of treatment. Once pregnant treatment should be stopped.
