Poor Egg Quality—“Poor
egg quality” means that a woman’s eggs might not respond
to fertilization or develop into a healthy embryo. Poor
egg quality is due to chromosomal abnormalities, or low
quality mitochondria in the egg. (Mitochondria provide
energy to the egg, and fuel embryonic cells when they
divide.) Poor egg quality is usually due to aging.
Traditional
Chinese Medicine, which includes
both acupuncture and herbs, can help restore the
patient’s health and therefore boost egg quality. By
increasing blood flow to the ovaries, increasing
nourishment and oxygen supply to the reproductive
organs, and stabilizing reproductive hormones, a woman’s
chance of conceiving is increased. A well-nourished
ovary produces better quality eggs and strong healthy
embryos.
