Q All my tests come back normal, but I still can't get pregnant. Can Korean medicine really help with unexplained infertility?
A Unexplained infertility, where no clear abnormality appears on testing, is an area where Korean medicine treatment can be expected to help. The realistic goal is to create a body well-suited to pregnancy by balancing uterine blood flow, ovulation rhythm, and overall condition.
Detailed Answer
Unexplained infertility is common, accounting for about a quarter of all infertility cases, and refers to situations where pregnancy does not occur even though test results are normal. To be honest, herbal medicine cannot guarantee pregnancy. However, it can help address foundations that test numbers do not capture, such as uterine blood flow, sleep, digestion, and stress, so we recommend using it alongside obstetric care.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
At Dongjedang, the more that testing reveals no cause, the more closely we examine the "soil" of the uterine and ovarian environment. We take an internal-medicine approach of warming a cold, congested lower abdomen and replenishing qi and blood to cultivate the soil in which a seed can settle. Rather than exaggerated expectations, we set honest goals together to raise the body's basic condition.
