According to newspaper report, Singapore total fertility rate (TFR) dropped to 1.16 in 2017, making it the lowest figure since 1.16 in 2010 and the second lowest ever recorded.
(1). I havea fewcouples who came to see me for their
fertility problems. Most of the women were about 33 to 40years of age. Some of them have already one child
but not able to have a second child for years.There were some who had miscarriages 2~3 times
while the others had no child at all.Some
of them had tried IVF but unsuccessful. There was onecase wherea
woman who was 43½ yearsold had a
baby through IVF and wanted to have another baby at the age of 45. She told me
doctors of IVF department are not willing to treat any patient who
has reached 45 years of age.
On 11 Oct 2008, a couple came
to see me in my clinic. The wife was 37½ yrs old while the husband was 39 years
old. They were married for 7 years. The wife had two miscarriages, one in 2005, another in
2007.Shehad tried IVF too but not successful. They came to see
mefor a last try. Both of
them werevery determined to
give it one last try. Iasked them
about the husband's seminal test results and the wife menses conditions.
I prescribed 3 months' Chinese herbal medicine for both of them.They tookthe
medicine faithfully. On 28thFeb 2009, they came to see me again. This time they came with the wife’s mother. The mother
came to see me for her knee pain and grumbled to me that the daughter
had not conceived. The couplethemselves was
very nice and understanding. They never grumbled but expressed their wish
to continue to take another3
months'of medicine. The wife
told me that she observed that after taking my medicine, her menses were more
regular and had less blood coagulation. On 5th Sept
2010, they surprised me by bringing their new born baby to my clinic. They told me the wife conceived in Oct 2009 and
the baby was born in July 2010.
In this case, I would say the
credit should go to the couple as they were reallyvery determined to have a
baby. In most cases, women are able to conceive but because
their wombs are not strong, they tend to have miscarriages.This group of women stand a good chance to have
baby through herbal Chinese medicine.
(2). A man,
age 33, came with his wife last year to see me. He
said National University Hospital had carried out a seminal
appraisal test on him and found that the motility of the sperm was slow and the
sperm count was also low. He was prescribed Vitamin E. Then he went to
KK Hospital and he was prescribed Vigor-Ace Multi Vitamin and
Tribestan. After taking the medicine, he went
to National University Hospital to have his seminal
appraisal test again and found that his sperm count went even lower to
2.9m.
He said
occasionally he had back pain and easily awaken at night. Other than
that he was healthy.
I told him that
he needed to take three months of Chinese Herbal Medicine and he
could go for seminal test again to see whether the parameters have
improved or not. One month after taking my medicine, he came and
showed me the seminal report which was taken
in National University Hospital. The result was good (see
attached report, patient and Lab officer name had been blocked for privacy
purpose).

I
was learning under a well-known professor in China, Chuan Zhou泉州. Her name is Zhong Xiu Mei 钟秀美教授. She was introduced by my mentor
Professor Lee Kim Long李金龙教授. She was veryfamous in treating fertility and other gynecological problems. She was
then already 65 years old and was willing to impart her knowledge to me as
she was about to retire from her post
in Chuan Zhou Hospital (泉州中医院). In this hospital,
Chinese physicians are allowed to carry out small operations such as abortion,blockages fallopian tube surgery (通输卵管手术),pap smear, simple fibroid surgery etc.I had learned a lot from her. At the end of the course,
she gave me a few books and asked me to treasure and learn fromit. But many of her experience could not be used
in Singapore as we, Chinese physicians, are not allowed to give
injectionsor carryoutsurgery
of any kind. However, we can prescribe Chinese medicine and teach
couples who want to have baby to know when is best time to conceive baby and
how to record temperatures etc.
In our TCM clinic, We TCM physician have seen many woman especially those around the mid 30swho tend to haveproblems such as menstrual pain (经痛), fibroid in the uterus (子宫肌瘤) and endometriosis (子宫内膜异位症). These womenare usually not married or they are
married with no children. During their menses, they had severe
pain and need to take pain killer. Many of them told me that they had
blood clots when they menstruate and the blood flow was heavy.
I recommend them to take herbal medicine
for5~6 months.
These womencame back every
month to take medicine and most of them told me that their menstrual flow was
better, more regular and their menstrual pain was reduced. Some of them even
told me that they used to have headache before or after the mensesbut after takingthe herbal medicine, their headache
was gone. Those women who had fibroid in the uterus, found that either the
fibroidwas reducedin size or did not grow
bigger. Some of them told me that they had gone for operation to
remove the fibroid in the uterusbut after
3~4 years,the fibroid grew
again. They went for a second operationto
remove the fibroid. After
the secondroundof operation, theydecided to seek TCM (Traditional
Chinese Medicine) treatment.
