Baekhan Clinic, a jujube field in Gyeongju with a 130-year tradition
The secret to solving infertility for a healthy pregnancy!

“Why is something that seems natural and obvious to others so difficult for us?”

For couples who want children, infertility is a word they don't even want to mention.
"Are we really infertile?", "What if we really can't have children?" From the day we are diagnosed with infertility at the hospital, countless worries begin to pile up.
At first, I started to deny it, thinking, 'Could the test be wrong?' But after going to the hospital several times and not getting any good news, at some point my heart suddenly sank.
Some days, I feel like God has abandoned me and I am overcome with anxiety that I will never be able to escape this state.
From then on, I would cry just looking at the children around me, and I would feel jealous when I saw a mother holding a child.
No one would have expected that they would suffer so much from infertility in their marriage.


In modern society, the rate of infertility is very high, at about 1 in 7 couples.
Late marriage is the biggest factor, but these days, the proportion of infertility due to unknown causes and stress is increasing.


Baekhan Hospital in Gyeongju is a traditional Korean medicine clinic that has been treating infertile couples for 130 years.
Director Baek Jin-ho, author of "Can I Become a Mother Too?" and a fifth-generation family member who has run this clinic, says, "The fundamental solution to the problem of illness is not medication, but rather to change our bodies to become healthy."
That is, you need to improve the condition of your weak body to make it capable of becoming pregnant.
So, we at Daechubat Baekhan Hospital have compiled the pregnancy secrets that have been used to treat infertile couples for 130 years into a single book.
Director Baek's idea is not to simply remove the cause of infertility, but to restore the balance of the entire body and ultimately make pregnancy possible through the most natural and fundamental treatment.

For those concerned about late-onset pregnancy due to late marriage, those who want to prepare for a healthy pregnancy and childbirth together, and those who want to find the right treatment for their body and have a healthy pregnancy, "Can I Become a Mother Too?" will be a friendly guide on the miraculous journey of pregnancy.

Although modern medicine has made remarkable progress, new diseases continue to emerge.
If there is a disease that developing medicine cannot keep up with, then we need to think about it the other way around.
And the answer can only be the healing within me.
If we wait until a new disease emerges before finding a treatment, it is in some ways already too late.
So, first of all, preventive medicine that takes care of my body is important, and that is Oriental medicine.

These days, there are many couples who suffer from infertility of unknown cause.
In most cases like this, stress is likely the cause.
Although we cannot see it, stress causes infertility, and infertility causes stress, creating an unbreakable cycle.
This significantly reduces the quality of life of couples and has a negative impact on their mental health.

There are many couples who come to the jujube field to inherit their inheritance.
If you suffer from infertility and then miscarry a child you had with difficulty, the pain will be indescribable.
I lose sleep at night due to guilt and regret for not being able to protect my child, and then depression sets in along with the anxiety that something like this will happen again.
Miscarriage not only harms the mother's body but also her mind, so both body and mind must be taken care of together to recover.

We often think that it would be a blessing if our husbands accompanied us for regular checkups during pregnancy.
But it is not something to be thankful for, it is something to be expected.
Regular checkups are important prenatal care before they become regular checkups.
This is because it is the day when you can get closest to the fetus and check on the health of the fetus and the mother.
Let's not forget that while the fetus is growing in the wife's womb, the father is also connected to her by an invisible string.

From the moment they first decide to undergo infertility treatment and start looking into various hospitals, all couples begin to feel exhausted.
Too much information and advice can make you more confused and impatient.
I feel like I have to do this, and I feel like I have to do that…
Then, eventually, you become an infertile nomad.
But now it's time to end this infertile nomad life and become a settled infertile person.
If you faithfully follow infertility treatment, there will be times when the path will appear.
Rather than being swayed by floating information, you need to find a reliable treatment method, establish your own treatment method, and practice it consistently.
It's a tough time to find a home, but there's definitely a treatment that works for you.

After starting infertility treatment, it seems like a filter has been installed on the couple.
The filter is activated even when the word 'child' appears.
Should I attend or avoid family gatherings? What used to be a trivial question has become a truly difficult one.
When my wife hears that her older sister's children are coming, she becomes reluctant to go to her parents' house, which she misses so much.
Before I heard that I was infertile, I was crazy about my nephew, but after I found out about it, my feelings for my nephew became more complicated.

Infertile mothers emphasize focusing on the moment and enjoying the present.
In other words, it is not tied down by infertility.
The idea is to cool down and re-establish relationships that have been stressed due to infertility, and focus on the couple without avoiding relationships.
I hope that the challenge of infertility doesn't interfere with the couple's daily life.
There is nothing more unfortunate than spending your golden summer vacation at home because you have homework to do.

The wife looked over her algorithm.
I quickly became depressed when I saw the algorithm filled with infertility topics such as 'Relationship between infertility and obesity', 'Infertility center specialist', 'Infertility clinic', and 'Pregnancy tips'.
My friends keep up with trends even in their 30s, just to keep up with what they were doing in their teens and 20s, but I feel like I'm always falling behind because I'm so focused on things that don't go my way.
I feel frustrated and angry because I feel like I'm struggling, trapped in the frame of infertility.
