In a previous article, we mentioned that one of the most
important duties for Chinese doctors is to help couples reproduce and
have offspring. Preventing miscarriages is an important element of it.
There are many causes for miscarriages such as: age, the quality of the egg or sperm, uterus status, ovary functions, and also other diseases within the human body like hypothyroid, hormonal level imbalance, etc. Generally speaking, people may understand that certain drugs can also cause miscarriage but what most people do not realize is that some commonly used products, for example perfume, can cause a miscarriage too, especially when the person is sensitive to some components within the perfume.
If the causes of a miscarriage are related to: big fibroids, age, perfume, drugs or other serious diseases, then the best way to prevent it, is to avoid using perfume and drugs, or to see a specialist to take care of the fibroid or other serious diseases. If the cause of a miscarriage is due to a hormonal imbalance or other functional endocrine diseases, the quality of the egg or sperm, endometriosis, PCOS, etc. then acupuncture would be one of the best choices for prevention.
Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can prevent miscarriages very well. So far, there have been a lot reports of regarding this issue indicating that most patients who have experienced miscarriage(s) were helped.
An example is Melissa Vest, born October 9th, 1981, age 31, had three unexplained miscarriages in the past two years at week 8 or 9. Her symptoms were: feeling cold easily especially in extremities, low energy, moody, bloated in abdomen, breast pain with fullness sensation, irregular and painful period, or would not get her period for a long time, and low libido. In terms of the libido and the cervical mucus, they would not only miss each other but would happen at the wrong time. By this we mean, that the libido or cervical mucus would either be before or during her period, instead of both happening around day 14 or 15 of her cycle. Her pulse Guan and Chi was weaker and deeper. Her tongue was slightly purple and darker red. The modern diagnosis for her was poor egg quality and a hormonal imbalance. However, the TCM diagnosis for her was, Qi deficiency and stagnation. Therefore, the principle of the treatment is Qi tonification and regulation. The treatment we gave her was Chinese herbal medicine Restorex, Relaxx, and Codonopisis and acupuncture regularly for about 10 months on and off. Eventually, her complaints and symptoms - mentioned above - became better, and she had a high libido and cervical mucus appeared around day 14 or 15 of her cycle, meaning her hormones were back to normal. She got pregnant again earlier last year. Now, she is happily 8 months pregnant without problems.
Another example is Jennifer Allen, born January 2nd, 1979, age 35. For the last 2 years she had a miscarriage twice, at weeks 11 or 12, with no explanation. She had no problem becoming pregnant, but the issue was in maintaining the pregnancy. All her blood test results were normal, but she told us she always felt tired easily after being pregnant, otherwise there were no other special symptoms. It was obvious to us that she had Qi deficiency, her body did not have enough energy to maintain her pregnancy. We asked her to take acupuncture regularly for 2 months with Chinese herbal medicine such as American ginseng, codonopisis, etc. to make her body stronger. Meanwhile, we asked her to take more protein in her diet. In the third month she was pregnant again and everything was fine. Her son is now 3 years old.
Having miscarriages easily can only make the infertility issue worse. To avoid this situation, it is first a good idea to see an acupuncturist and a Chinese herbalist in order to balance your body. This will make sure your body is well prepared for getting pregnant easily and maintaining the pregnancy.
