Infertility is the inability to naturally conceive a child or to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many reasons why a couple may not be able to conceive, or may not be able to conceive without medical assistance. Common believes that it is easy to have a child and are often surprised when the woman does not fall pregnant as soon as they start trying for a baby. The chance of getting pregnant in each menstrual cycle (each month) is very high.

However, it may take a long time to conceive, even if everything is looks normal, because some may just be a bit weak. Eight out of every ten women trying for a baby will fall pregnant within the first six months. Women who do become pregnant without any medical assistance generally do so within 8 months of trying. It is common for couples to seek help and advice if there is difficulty conceiving. Overall, around 15 per cent (one in six) of all couples will seek help.

All men and women undoubtedly experience symptoms related to reduce production of sex hormones (sex steroids) as they get older. These changes affect individuals differently, could be balance and minimize of symptom with the use of Chinese Master's herbal medications. Some people experience very few symptoms, whereas others are completely disabled by them. It is important to remember that this fall in sex hormone production is a natural process and not a disease. However, many unpleasant natural processes can be helped with Chinese Master's herbal medicine treatment just as effectively as diseases. In women, the fall in sex hormone production is quite abrupt and usually occurs over a few months or years in their 40s or 50s. The ovaries dramatically reduce their production of estrogens (the female-determining sex steroids), a woman's periods become disturbed and eventually stop (menopause).
