Abstract
Objectives:We investigated whether oriental medical therapy influences the results of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Methods:19 women with infertility were treated by oriental treatment from August 1999 to June 2000 in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of an oriental medical center. The women were planning in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer after oriental medicine treatment. The data from the women was analyzed, we obtained the following results. Results:The average age of infertile women was 35.42 ± 4.86; infertility caused by male factor or tubal factor were the most frequent. The average number of previous failed IVF treatments was 2.21 ± 1.81. The number of aspirated oocytes was 9.00 ± 6.09 in IVF cycle before oriental therapy, increasing to 9.80 ± 5.41 after therapy, but it was not statistically significant. In IVF before oriental therapy, the average number of embryos transfer was 3.20 ± 1.90, and it significantly increased to 4.40 ± 1.45 after treatment. The quality points of embryos were 10.00 ± 6.02 before treatment, but statistically significantly improved to 14.07 ± 4.98 after. The characteristics of women being pregnant and non-successful women were compared with age, period of taking herbal medicine and the number of failed IVF treatments, but there was no significant difference. Conclusion:Oriental treatment before IVF could be expected to have good results in treatment of infertility.
