Unexplained Infertility Doesn’t Mean Hopeless

What Is Unexplained Infertility?

For many couples, all standard medical tests — hormones, scans, sperm analysis — may come back “normal.” Yet conception still does not happen. This is often labeled as Unexplained Infertility, and it accounts for nearly 10–15% of fertility challenges.

While this term can feel discouraging, in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), “unexplained” simply means there are subtle imbalances not always detected by conventional methods. These hidden factors — stress, energy flow disruptions, or constitutional weaknesses — may still impact your fertility journey.

How TCM Approaches Unexplained Fertility?

Instead of focusing only on test results, TCM looks at the whole person — body, mind, and lifestyle. Through acupuncture, herbal medicine, and tailored lifestyle advice, we aim to:

Enhance reproductive energy (Qi and Blood flow): Supporting ovulation, implantation, and sperm vitality.
Regulate subtle hormone imbalances: Even “normal” levels may fluctuate in ways that affect fertility.
Reduce stress & emotional tension: Stress can interfere with ovulation, sperm health, and conception.
Strengthen overall reproductive health: Creating a more receptive womb environment and healthier sperm quality.
