Treatment of obstructive fallopian tubes using Chinese medicine
Acupuncture and herbs clear fallopian tube obstructions and restore fertility. Researchers from the Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital of Puyang City tested a four part traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) protocol for restoring fallopian tube patency.
The acupuncture and herbal medicine protocol led to the successful clearing of hydrosalpinx and other fallopian tube obstructions. In addition, the acupuncture and herbal medicine protocol outperformed a control group receiving medications.
