In Taiwan, it is common for patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) to also receive care through Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as part of their fertility management. Over the past several decades, Taiwan has developed a clinical environment where both Western reproductive medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine are present in the treatment of infertility.
IVF procedures are performed by reproductive medicine specialists, while Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians assess patients based on their overall health status, reproductive history, menstrual health, and stage of fertility treatment. TCM places strong emphasis on individualized evaluation and treatment planning.
Traditional Chinese Medicine has historically been used in the management of women’s health, menstrual regulation, and infertility. In clinical practice, TCM is often used to help condition the body, support overall well-being, and maintain reproductive health during the fertility treatment process.
As fertility treatment often requires coordination between different healthcare providers, patients are encouraged to maintain open communication with their medical teams so that all aspects of care can be appropriately managed.
