Pelvic Inflammation Disease (PID) is defined as condition caused by inflammation or infection of the female uterus, fallopian tubes, and/or ovaries as a result of scars and adhesion in the pelvic which in turn may prevent the implantation of egg during natural pregnancy process. It affects over 1 million women in U.S. every month and most of them are in their teen and twenties and over 100,000 women become infertile in the US alone each year.
I. Symptoms of (PID)
1. Fever – It is due to infection or inflammation of the pelvic region. 2. Cervical motion tenderness – Caused by swelling of cervical inflammation area as a immune system reaction. 3. Lower abdominal pain – It is caused by sexual transmitted diseases Chlamydia pneumoniae that infect the pelvic tissues and immune responds. 4. Abnormal discharge – Due to immune system in fighting with the bacteria to protect the pelvic tissues. 5. Painful intercourse – As a result of some infected tissues have been damaged. 6. Irregular menstrual bleeding – Caused by bleeding of the infected area.
II. Causes of PID
1. Sexual transmitted diseases – Chlamydia is also known as Chlamydia pneumoniae, it is a type of organism causes sexual transmitting disease. In women, it may damage the Fallopian tube leading to infertility. Sexual transmitted disease happens most often to sexual active women with several partners and without understanding much of the partner’s health and condition. The diseases can also transmit through sexual intercourse without the use of a barrier device such as condom. Chlamydia can live in the body for months and years without causing any symptoms, but when it strikes the symptoms include: a) Pain or burning when urinating b) Abnormal vaginal discharge c) Bleeding between periods d) Pain during sexual intercourse as we mentioned above.
2. Virus – It may be caused by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
3. Fungi – It causes infection, low levels of estrogen or allergy and abnormal vagina discharge. In case of frequent vaginitis, it is caused by women who are taking birth control pills, or taking antibiotics, as antibiotics kill bacteria, it causes uncontrolled yeast growth). Fungi can also be contracted through sexual intercourse.
4. Parasitic – PID is caused by a tiny parasite, known as trichomonas vaginalis.
5. Bacterial infections – Bacteria (germs) get into a woman’s internal reproductive organs such as douching or when the cervix is opened due to menstruation or ovulation for sperm invasion.
6. Surgery – Surgeries such as C section, abortion, childbirth or insertion of an IUD may cause bacteria getting into the pelvic region, leading to infection resulting in scars in the region.
7. Cervicitis – Cervicitis is defined as a medical condition caused by inflammation or infection to the cervix, leading to abnormal production of cervical mucus and increasing the risk of infertility
III. Affects of PID
1. Chronic pelvic pain – Pelvic inflammatory disease often causes pelvic pain, it can lead to chronic pelvic pain if left untreated for too long as a result of scars building up in the pelvic region.
2. Infertility – If the scar covers a large portion of the uterus that disrupts the chance of egg to implant in the uterus or blocks the Fallopian tube, causing fertilization egg unable to travel down to the uterus for implantation.
3. Ectopic pregnancy – As a result of the end of Follopian tube that connects to the ovaries becoming partially or completely blocked due to forming of scars after infection.
IV. Treatment of PID in conventional medicine perspective
PID have to be cured early by antibiotics, otherwise it may cause forming of large scars in the pelvic region, leading to blockage at the end of Fallopian tube that affects the uterus in egg implantation.
V. Summary
1. PID can be prevented if a woman a) Uses a condom b) Abstains from sexual intercourse c) Avoids douching 2. Early treatment
Sexually active women must check with her doctor, if some of above symptoms are found.

A. Definition Premature ovarian failure is defined as a condition of which the ovarian is no longer responded to the brain in production of follicle before the age of 40, leading to high levels of FSH in the bloodstream and menopause hormonal symptoms. It is caused by either the accelerated loss of eggs or follicles are become less responsive to hormone stimulation from the pituitary gland. It has been estimated that POF affects 1% of the population. While conventional medicine uses synthesis medication to stimulate the ovarian response and artificial insemination with only 5% success rate accompanying with a high medical cost, it drives many women to seek help from traditional medicine, including the traditional Chinese medicine.
B. Infertility & POFs In Conventional Medicine Perspective
II. Diagnosis If you have some of the symptoms below, your doctor may a blood test for hormones and the levels of FSH hormone, if your blood test indicated a high levels of FSH (follicle Stimulating Hormone), you may suspect to have premature ovarian failure. It’s usually necessary to repeat the blood test to make sure the first test was correct. Sometimes, a Chomid challenging test is require to confirm the first test result.
III. Causes The causes of POFs is known, but some researchers suspect 1. Autoimmune disorders It is caused by abnormal function of immune system in producing antibody antigen that destroys the body tissues, leading to the destruction of ovarian function.
2. Turner syndrome It is genetic cause of POF as resulting of a complete or near-complete loss of the second X, because it requires to have 2 functioning X chromosomes for normal ovarian function.
3. Fragile X syndrome It is the most common cause of inherited mental impairment and associated with premutation form of the FMR1 gene, leading to increasing the risk of premature ovarian failure or early menopause. The premutation form of the FMR1 gene can be easily detected in blood or cheek cells via a DNA test.
4. Chemotherapy and radiation It is said that chemotherapy and radiation to the pelvic region may damage the uterus, leading to abnormal function of the ovaries resulting in infertility and early menopause.
6. Surgery Any surgery involve removal of the uterus without removing the ovaries may increase the risk of premature ovarian failure.
7. Enzymes deficiency It is said that women can not produce enough certain enzymes such as enzyme 17 alpha hydroxylase and 17 and 20 lesmolase may increase the risk of POF as resulting of low levels of estrogen being produced.
8. Infection Infections such as chickenpox, malaria, tuberculosis and mumps may increase the risk of premature ovarian failure.
IV. Symptoms Symptoms of POFs is similar to symptoms of menopause, include 1. Irregular periods (different length of bleeding or change in flow) 2. Hot flashes caused by low levels of estrogen. 3. Night sweats caused by low levels pf estrogen 4. Decrease in sexual drive caused by low levels of testosterone 5. Irritability caused by low levels of estrogen 6. Painful sex caused by thinning and drying of vagina
V. Treatments 1. Estrogen therapy a) How it works Estrogen therapy (ET) is a medical treatment with a medication containing only estrogen hormone. Estrogen-only therapy helps to increase the estrogen levels, thereby, stimulating the communication of the brain as the increasing of FSH hormone to induce egg production and egg extruding. It is said that Estrogen therapy has helped many women with POF to conceive.
b) Risks i) Heart diseases ii) Blood clotting iii) Breast cancer iv) Gallbladder diseases
c) Side effects Some women may experience the below side effects i) Fluid retention, ii) Bloating, iii) Nausea, iv) Breast tenderness v) Mood swings vi) Headache
2. Estradiol a) How is works Estradiol is actually a type of estrogen, by injecting the synthesis form of estradiol , it stimulates the brain to shut off the production of FSH leading to egg maturing and extruding into Fallopian tube for natural fertilization. b) Risks i) Endometrial hyperplasia ii) Cancer of the lining of the uterus iii) Stroke iv) Breast cancer
c) Side effects i)Uterine bleeding, ii) Breast tenderness, iii) Nausea and vomiting, iv) Chloasma, v) Cholestasis, vi) Migraine headaches
3. Hormone replacement therapy HRT a) How HRT works Hormone replacement therapy provides estrogen and other synthesis hormones which are necessary for the natural process of menstrual cycle, by signalling the production of LH and FSH as well as signalling the release of mature egg to the Fallopian tube.
b) Risks i) Liver disease ii) Breast cancer iii) Uterus cancer iv) Blood clots in the vein, legs, or lungs v) Gallbladder disease vi) Heart diseases or stroke
c) Side effects i) Vaginal bleeding of unknown cause ii) Breast pain iii) Nausea iv) Bloating and fluid retention v) Blood clots in the vein, legs, or lungs. vi) Moodswing
4. Clomid (Clomiphene citrate) a) How it works Clomid stimulates the pituitary gland in secreting, leading to maturing of some eggs and ovulation.
b) Risks i) Ovarian hyperstimulation ii) Multiple birth iii) Cancer
c) Side effects i ) Hot Flashes ii) Bloating iii) Abdominal paid and cramps iv) Weight gain v) Moodswing vi) Nausea and dizziness vii) Abnormal menstrual bleeding viii) Visual disturbances
6. Cytoplasm This is a new kind of treatment, by taking DNA from your healthy egg and places it inside the nutrient components of a donor’s egg as your DNA goes into the healthy egg for artificial insemination.
7. Artificial Insemination Some doctors also try to use IVF with donor egg, while it gives the woman a baby but it dose not address the underline failure of the ovaries and other symptoms of menopause. Unfortunately, the success rate for a happy conception for women with premature ovarian failure is about 5%.
Always keep yourself positive and work together with your doctor, you may get pregnant sooner than you think.

It has been estimated that POF affects 1% of the population. While conventional medicine uses synthesis medication to stimulate the ovarian response and artificial insemination with only 5% success rate accompanying with a high medical cost, it drives many women to seek help from traditional medicine, including the traditional Chinese medicine.
Traditional Chinese medicine views POF as an excess and deficiency pattern caused by emptiness of the penetrating and conception meridians and treatments are totally depended to her unique diagnosis, there is no one treatment for all.
I. Diagnosis Most women with POF have some of following symptoms 1. irritability, a rapid pulse and a red tongue 2. Pale or normal tongue 3. Weak pulse 4. Weakness 5. Lethargy Pale, 6. Shallow breathing , soft voice Little desire to speak 7. Poor appetite 8. Fatigue 9. Loose stools 10. Indigestion 11. Bloating and gas 12. Reddish tongue with little or no coating 13.

Lack of energy 31. Low sexual desire Since each woman is diagnosed as her own entity, some symptoms may be found in some women, but not in the other, depending to the diagnosis.
I. Causes of POF in TCM perspective A. Excessive yang Caused by an excessive loss of vital essence and nutrient fluid, leading to dryness of skin, chapped lips, nose bleed, mouth sore, urinary burning, etc. and interfering with the kidney function in hormonal regulation, resulting in ovarian abnormal function in responding to the hormone secretion from pituitary gland.
B. Spleen qi deficiency 1. Liver Liver has directed influentially in spleen function, without strong liver there is no treatment for spleen blockade and deficiency.
2. Diet and occupation Since spleen prefer warm and hot foods, prolong period working in col environment and eating cold foods will effect the spleen function in synthesizing carbohydrate synthesizing, disrupting the processes in nutrients absorption, obstructing the blood flow to the abdominal region and effecting the luteal phrase, resulting in infertility 3. Life style and weakened liver Spleen is view as the organ of digestion ( nutrients distribution ) and elimination ( eliminating the body waste ). Spleen qi deficiency is normal caused by irregular dietary habits and excessive use of mind in studying and working. Weakened liver may also increases the risk of toxins accumulation and liver qi stagnation in the body, effecting the spleen function and obstructing implantation of egg in the uterine lining. C. Kidney yin deficiency a) Unhealthy diet As oppose to yang deficiency, It is caused by men who love to hot and spicy food leading to heat accumulation in the body causing yin deficiency.
b) External factor Working in the hot environment causes the depletion of fluids in the body including the kidney leading abundant yang qi production.
c) Low sexual activity Frequent sexual activity increases the risk of yang deficiency, low sexual activity causes energy overly accumulation in the reproductive organ, leading to yin deficiency.
D. Blood deficiency Tradition Chinese medicine view blood deficiency is caused by weakened spleen organ, thereby, reducing the spleen function in blood formation, leading to causes not enough blood to distribute to the body such as absence of (no blood for) menstruation. Blood deficiency leads to abnormal function of reproductive system in regulating menstrual cycle, disrupting the production of egg or produces poor quality egg and makes uterine mucus hostile to sperm.
F. Kidney yang deficiency 1 Unhealthy diet As we known, we live in the society, where everything we drink are mostly cold including milk. It has a danger effect in both female and male body as it depletes of the yang qi which is needed to counter the the cold effects of abundant yin, leading to kidney yang deficiency. If one day, our yang qi production from the kidney jing is no longer working well, it will cause symptoms of infertility
2. External factors a) Working in the cold environment such as fish, poultry and meat processing plants may deplete the kidney yang as our body require to produce yang qi constantly to counter the external cold. b) People stay in the cold place for prolong period of time may also have the same effect as people working in cold environment.
b) Frequent sexual activity According to traditional medical medicine, sexual intercourse helps to improve blood circulation and production of certain hormones which are necessary for our health. It also helps to balance the kidney yin qi but frequent sexual activity depletes the kidney jing which is vital for hormone and sperm production, leading to low sperm count or semen with no sperm as well as kidney diseases.
II. Treatments 1. Diet modification a). Since most women with POF are diagnosed with excessive yang in the west caused by the typical American diet as resulting of the body evokes the response from the ovaries, it is advised that spicy and hot foods are eliminated from the diet until excessive yang can be neutralized. b) What to avoid i) Simple sugar and refine starches Simple sugar and refine starches have a very high reading in the GI index list as they cause sharp rise and drop of blood sugar in the bloodstream. ii) Hormone imbalance As the levels of insulin produced by the pancreas have to increase traumatically when the blood sugar levels rise and stop when the blood sugar drop. The imbalance of levels of sugar also cause the over production of cortisol hormone by the adrenal gland that interferes with production of sex hormone, causing infertility. iii) Vitamins Over production of cortisol caused by intake of sugar and refine starches also increases the risk of nutrients deficiency as resulting of vitamins and minerals depletion including B vitamin and magnesium. iv) Weakened immune system Study show that intake a teaspoon of simple sugar can weaken the immune system up to 4 hours as resulting of weakening protein functions in body defence.
v) Saturated fat and trans fat Saturated fat and trans fat interferes the liver function in essential fatty acid metabolism, leading to over production of certain hormones in the prostaglandins family, causing menstrual camps and pain, nervous tensions as well as irregular menstrual cycle, thereby increasing the risk of infertility.
vi) Coffee Intake of large amount of coffee daily to fight off stress may have a negative effect in the reproductive system. As study show that women who consume 300 mg or more of caffeine take longer to conceive than women who do not or take less.
vii) Drug and alcohol Drugs and alcohol can influence an imbalance of reproductive hormones. As drug increases the tension of the nervous system leading to hormone imbalance, excessive alcohol drinking can cause liver damage, which abnormal function of liver in all kinds of metabolism, causing blood and qi stagnation in the liver and effecting a couple’s reproductive abilities. Alcohol also causes nervous tension, leading to over production of certain hormones, thereby, increasing the risk of infertility.
viii) Carbonate Soda Carbonate soda contains high amount of sweetener, caffeine and phosphate which can interfere with calcium absorption as well as stimulating the over production of certain hormone including cortisol, leading to fatigue, stress and anxiety.
ix) Most animal and dairy products Because most animal and diary products are considered acidic which can distort the balance of pH levels in the body, making cervical mucus hostile to sperm invasion as well as preventing the implantation of egg.

Women who select acupuncture for fertility benefits may be pleasantly surprised with the results if suffering with fertility complications. Acupuncture is a Chinese medical technique that sticks thin needles into various points on the body. When these needles are stimulated, pathways are opened that may affect the way the body operates. Practitioners may treat a variety of fertility conditions or diseases, or use the treatment in conjunction with herbs or western medical treatments. The American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) trains and certifies individuals to perform this therapy to treat infertility.
While the training for this certification involves a familiarity with acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments, about half of the exam required to become certified also requires an understanding of western medicine. Patients who would like to know more about the training and certification for practitioners of acupuncture for fertility treatment should speak to a trained professional directly or consult the ABORM for more information.
Acupuncture may be an effective treatment for patients suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, low sperm count, poor egg quality and low ovarian reserve. Patients with an increased maternal age, those with sperm DNA fragmentation and who experience recurrent miscarriages may also be candidates for this treatment. Those suffering from immunological causes of infertility, implantation failures, patients undergoing in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technology treatments and those with unexplained infertility problems may also be candidates for acupuncture.
Acupuncture is based on the belief that the body’s life energy, called Qi, flows through the body, protecting it from illness, pain and diseases. The belief states that stress, trauma, poor diet and a lack of exercise may block or interrupt the energy, which may lead to infertility among other things. The needles are placed into the body at different depths and locations to release the energy. Practitioners believe that by releasing positive energy, negative energy is pushed out of the body.
The patient must lie still while treatment is being administered and the needles are stimulated. Each session may last 20 to 30 minutes. When used with other fertility treatments, acupuncture may be successful in helping women relieve stress and increase blood flow to the uterus, which may lead to positive results for those suffering from fertility issues. This therapy may also reduce the side effects of fertility drugs and may help to strengthen the immune system. Patients who would like more information should consult a practitioner of this therapy.

Estrogen, if given on its own, stimulates the growth of tissue in the uterus and is believed to promote uterine cancer, which is why birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy normally contain progesterone to counter estrogen’s effects on the uterus.

However, there is no evidence to show that natural enlargement pills interfere with fertility, menstruation, or birth control pills. Some experts also say that many of the herbs used, such as fenugreek and fennel, have historical reputations as breast enhancers. However, there is little discussion on safety with long-term use, and analysts do not have a clear view on the safety concerns of taking large quantities of these herbs in pill form.
