At Medical Japan, we offer Japan’s only evidence-based rehabilitation program for fertility, infertility, and miscarriage prevention.
The female body is more prone to instability due to the menstrual cycle, and the balance of hormones and blood flow is crucial.
As shown on the left, hormone production and body temperature can change easily. Since most of the hormones that regulate the body environment are derived from blood flow, they are related not only to the reproductive organs but also to the balance of the entire body.
Many hormones are produced by the anterior pituitary gland. Therefore, once a problem occurs, it can cause a chain reaction, disrupting the balance of multiple hormones.
Hormones are secreted from the anterior pituitary gland into capillaries and affect the entire body, highlighting how important blood flow is.Blood flow can be categorized into three types:
3. Internal organ blood flow
In various aspects of perinatal care, the most important type of blood flow is 【3. Internal organ blood flow】 which includes the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes.
To increase internal organ blood flow…
It is necessary to reduce the muscle blood flow that increases during exercise and tension.
Reduced muscle blood flow ↓ = Increased internal organ blood flow ↑
This equation has evidence in rehabilitation. Therefore, what becomes even more important is 【breathing】.
Breathing [external breathing] = Heart output [circulation] = Effectors [effectors]
Through this energy metabolism inside the body, mitochondria produce a protein called ATP, which is essential for life activities.
Furthermore, this ATP production is constantly influenced by the autonomic nervous system. As a result, for improved metabolism,
1. Appropriate amount of exercise and muscle mass [maintain internal organ blood flow without increasing muscle blood flow]
2. Increased ventilation during rest [increases blood return to the heart]
3. Stabilized blood pressure, breathing rate, and body temperature [enhance natural healing power by stabilizing vital signs]
At Medical Japan, when intervening in perinatal care, we provide medical acupuncture, massage, and training after considering the stabilization of vital signs and nutritional support. This approach helps stabilize vital signs, improve nutrition, and balance the autonomic nervous system.
In the clinical field of infertility and miscarriage prevention, it is necessary to select the right timing and reliable methods in conjunction with obstetric medical care. Therefore, Medical Japan’s infertility and miscarriage prevention program is overseen by a certified infertility counselor recognized by the Japan Society of Reproductive Medicine.
Moreover, we incorporate the latest evidence in collaboration with obstetricians.
The blood flow in the pelvis and the position of the pelvis play a significant role in the implantation of fertilized eggs and the success of pregnancy. Coldness and pelvic misalignment create conditions that make it difficult to conceive, so addressing these issues is important.
The pelvic cavity contains reproductive organs such as the uterus and ovaries. When the blood flow to these organs is good and the pelvis is in its natural forward-tilted position, it becomes easier for the fertilized egg to implant and conceive.
However, if there is coldness or misalignment, it weakens the blood flow to the placenta and reduces the forward-tilted angle of the pelvis, causing the internal organs to sag, which creates an environment less conducive to implantation. Additionally, coldness not only cools the body but also causes a decline in metabolism and immunity.

Position of Preconception Care in Life Cycle (Adapted from WHO)
Conception refers to becoming pregnant and carrying a new life inside the womb.
Preconception care is the process where women or couples, considering future pregnancy, reflect on their lifestyle and health.
This care is not only necessary for women planning pregnancy. It aims to help women and couples become healthier, increase their chances of having a healthy baby, and ensure that women and their future families lead healthier lives.
In Japan, it was first established at the Preconception Care Center of the Child and Family Medical Research Center.
The Preconception Care Center aims to offer all women and couples who may consider pregnancy a comprehensive check of their current health status from various perspectives. It provides the opportunity to consult specialists in various fields regarding daily life and health, especially for those with existing health conditions or a history of illness in childhood. The center focuses on consultations for couples who are struggling to conceive or who have had unsatisfactory results in previous pregnancies.
Furthermore, the center gathers and shares up-to-date information about pregnancy and childbirth for diseases that previously lacked sufficient information, ensuring that everyone has access to essential knowledge before pregnancy.
