| Abstract | ||
| In recent years, infertility has significantly increased, driven by various risk factors such as congenital, acquired, and idiopathic conditions. Conventional treatments for male and female infertility include medications, surgery, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, and intracytoplasmic injection, all of which can restore fertility to some extent. However, these conventional methods in common medicine do not always lead to pregnancy and live births. In addition to the fact that the treatments are expensive for both governments and individuals, their effectiveness is often reported to be far from satisfactory. Complementary and alternative therapies (CAM) include a wide range of treatment methods, such as traditional medicine, acupuncture, natural products, and mind-body therapies, which are relatively less invasive and less expensive. The principle of treatments in traditional medicine is to balance any recognized imbalance. Traditional medicine diagnosis refers to whole body systems such as meridians and involves the kidney, liver (blood), spleen, heart, and lung systems, as well as patterns of excess or deficiency and patterns of heat or cold. Therefore, the focus of this mini-review is to highlight new approaches to traditional medicine treatments as complementary alternatives in regenerative medicine for infertility complications. | ||
