Infertility is not a disease, but a common clinical manifestation of multiple diseases. To treat infertility, only by relying on advanced modern medicine to accurately analyze a variety of causes and implementing personalized treatment plans based on the criteria for the cause, can infertility disappear after the primary disease is cured.
Trick 1: Since it is a disease, there must be drugs to treat it, resulting in many methods and drugs for treating infertility, such as various pregnancy aid pills, seed pills, pregnancy protection pills, and so-called ancestral secret recipes for regulating qi and blood. Many doctors use this misconception to promote various types of Chinese herbal medicines and proven formulas to deceive patients and defraud them of money.
Misunderstanding: blind application of traditional Chinese medicine for treatment
For infertile women, more than 95% of the lesions are organic lesions among various etiologies. For example, the main causes of female infertility include fallopian tube obstruction, ectopic pregnancy, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, pelvic adhesions, and so on. "These diseases can only be resolved through hysteroscopy and laparoscopic surgery to restore normal physiological functions before normal pregnancy and delivery can occur.".
The differentiation of symptoms and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine can play a certain role in regulating certain functional diseases (such as psychosocial factors). Infertility patients should follow the principles of scientific treatment of infertility, not blindly use drugs, but first diagnose and then treat, and choose different pregnancy assistance measures based on different diseases.
Cheating 2: Traditional Chinese medicine does not harm the body, but helps to treat diseases through conditioning. Many private medical institutions receive patients under the banner of traditional Chinese medicine to assist in pregnancy. It is reported that nearly 100% of infertile couples in China have received various treatments with traditional Chinese medicine, but few have been cured by using traditional Chinese medicine alone without knowing the cause.
In clinical practice, many diseases that cause infertility do manifest as menstrual disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterized by sparse menstruation (only a few menstrual cycles a year), obesity, hirsutism, difficult pregnancy, miscarriage, and so on; Uterine polyps or fibroids lead to prolonged menstrual periods (over 7 days) and increased menstrual volume (over previous levels); Uterine adhesions and hypopituitarism can lead to reduced menstrual volume.
According to scientific methods, after treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome, the menstrual cycle will quickly return to normal, and normal pregnancy can also be achieved; After removal of uterine polyps through hysteroscopy, removal of uterine fibroids, and release of uterine adhesions through hysteroscopy, menstruation and fertility can immediately return to normal without any medical assistance. It is correct to use artificial menstrual cycle regulation and ovulation stimulation for treatment of pituitary dysfunction only.
Trick 3: Some doctors lack awareness of these diseases that cause the appearance of menstrual disorders and blindly use drugs to regulate menstruation or promote ovulation, causing many patients not only to lose many valuable reproductive cells, but also to miss the best treatment opportunity.
Misunderstanding: Blind abortion protection for patients with habitual abortion
Blind abortion protection is actually a common misconception in the treatment of habitual abortion caused by the medical profession's unclear etiology. There are many causes of habitual abortion, mainly including immune factors, genetic factors, endocrine factors, infection factors, environmental factors, etc. Therefore, the treatment methods for different causes should also be different. For example, for miscarriages caused by immune factors, immunotherapy must be given to pregnant women to ensure that they will not miscarry again.
If the abortion is caused by a genetic mutation, it is best not to protect the fetus. If a child with congenital defects is born, it is a burden to the family and society.
Trick 4: Many patients regard abortion protection as the most effective treatment for habitual abortion, while some undesirable doctors focus on the idea of parents wanting to protect the fetus, fraudulently and indiscriminately carry out abortion protection treatment, using various birth protection pills, anti abortion powder, and indiscriminate use of progesterone, vitamin E, and chorionic gonadotropin. However, clinical practice has proven that these treatments have no significant effect, and even cause great regret.
Misunderstanding: Lack of understanding of science and experience, blind medical attention
Careful and intelligent patients should learn to master the scientific knowledge of diagnosis and treatment of infertility, use this knowledge to identify true and false hospitals and doctors, and take the initiative in the treatment process.
Fraud prevention strategy
1. Ask a doctor for a definite diagnosis. In other words, ask your doctor for a definitive diagnosis of your illness. "Infertility" is not the name of a disease, but rather a common clinical manifestation caused by multiple diseases. If your doctor cannot diagnose it and only treats you with an attitude of "trying to treat, not changing methods", then he may not be able to help treat your disease in any way, and on the contrary, it may delay the treatment opportunity. ".
2. Deny excessive service. Some hospitals prescribe a series of tests to persuade patients to buy drugs without figuring out the cause, and even have one doctor and several "guides" to prevent communication between patients. At this point, you should be calm and not receive so-called treatment without a clear diagnosis and clear understanding of the cause.
3. Informed selection is required. For each cause, there are generally several treatment options to choose from. Patients should ask their doctors to provide all feasible treatment options in order to choose the simplest and most effective treatment. Some doctors only recommend the programs they are good at or have the best economic benefits, and even make up some so-called advanced therapies just to defraud money.
4. Require the presentation of testing standards and treatment process images. "If your doctor simply recommends a certain drug without explicitly telling you the ingredients and manufacturer of the drug provided, saying what is a" secret recipe "or" secret ", it must be a fake drug;"; If a CD or video must be provided to perform the surgery, otherwise it proves that it cannot be detected or repeated, and the dark box operation must be "tricky.". The production of detection standards and treatment process images is fully achievable in modern medicine.
