TCM commonly treats women with a history of repeated miscarriage. It is important to recognise this problem may take a few months to treats. The aim of treatment is diagnosing the problem and aiming the treatment at that individual problem for example:
- Thin endometrial lining (scanty blood in period) – to build up a healthy lining with a good flow of blood in period
- Thick endometrial lining (dark clotty period – this is commonly seen) – aim is clear clots and dark blood and ensure a healthy red period with a normal flow.
- Hormonal imbalance – regulate the hormones
- Poor egg/sperm quality – to help ensure better quality eggs/sperm
- Auto-immune problems – strengthening the immune system
Siobhan needs to see both partners when there is a history of recurrent miscarriage to help ensure there is a healthy embryo. Each partner is 50 percent of the potential embryo and research shows that 50 percent of all miscarriages is due to a weak embryo.
Siobhán’s individual treatment plan of herbs, acupuncture and specific foods (according to individual needs) is very successful in preventing a miscarriage (please see testimonials above).
