Q Is Korean medicine pregnancy preparation effective even if I am 35 or older?
A The older you are, the longer constitutional correction takes, but benefits in preserving ovarian function and improving the implantation environment can still be expected.
Detailed Answer
Advanced Maternal Age and the Role of Korean Medicine
At 35 and older, declining ovarian reserve (AMH), reduced egg quality, and decreased endometrial blood flow progress together. Korean medicine diagnoses this as Kidney yin (sin-eum) or Kidney yang (sin-yang) deficiency and makes reinforcing Kidney qi the core of treatment.
Benefits that can be expected:
- Improved egg maturation environment through better ovarian blood flow
- Higher implantation rate through improved endometrial thickness and blood flow
- Reduced risk of recurrent miscarriage through immune regulation
That said, Korean medicine treatment does not reverse age itself. A realistic strategy is to combine it with IVF to raise the success rate of each cycle, and Dongjedang has experienced many collaborative cases with fertility clinics.
