Traditional Chinese Medicine - Dr Zhai

Hello,

My husband has been diagnosed with very low sperm count and I am considering to go to the Dr Zhai clinic as I read in some articles about her good results.

I have been looking for scienfic reviews of Tradicional Chinese Medicine but it seems that there is no studies that can confirm that it works.

Anybody with experiences regarding this? My husband has very low sperm count for unexplicable causes so I thought maybe we could try something like this...

Many thanks!

We considered it but our clinic wouldn't treat us if we were doing this. Check with your clinic

Thanks for your answers!

Yes, we will try anything... that's why things get so complicated. I like to have some scienfitic proof about treatments (that is, some experts have made some experimental controls and have found are effective) but you keep reading things and it's difficult to know.

I have read some articles in "serious" newspapers about Traditional Chinese Medicine that may be doubt but have not found any evidence so far, that's why I thought to ask for personal experiences...

I would prefer to conceive naturally so I try to look into all the options, specially since it nobody can find a reason why the low sperm count of my husband.

@ChitterChat. Good luck with everything! Just to let you know, walnuts are also really good (in a reliable study men improved their sperm count after having 75 gr a day of whole-selled walnuts. You can check the news here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19254383). My husband is doing this now and he seems to be enjoyin it :-)
