An Abuja-based fertility Specialist, Dr Ekinyi Ochete, has identified and listed the benefits of traditional medicine and acupuncture in tackling sub-fertility issues,
saying “the option can completely rebalance the body system.”

She told newsmen in Abuja on Thursday that traditional medicines could solve many health problems, including infertility, saying “this means that people would experience
improvement in their general health, energy and emotions.”

The fertility specialist noted that another benefit was that traditional medical treatment, including acupuncture, was absolutely complementary with Western treatments.

She explained that “the two medicines can work well together to help you have a healthy little baby.”

According to her, the majority of sub-fertility causes are non-structural, although doctors will point out structural reasons such as endometriosis, fibroid or polycystic ovarian syndrome.

She noted that “the fact is that these conditions are symptom imbalances in the body and are reversible using acupuncture and herbs.

“As long as these conditions are treated quickly enough, they are unlikely to leave any structural problem that would cause infertility. Most causes of sub-fertility are actually treatable and reversible conditions,” she added.
