Private hospital in China sued over false claims about ‘natural’ method for conceiving twins
Nanjing clinic said its proprietary medication could raise men’s sperm count to raise couples’ chances of having twins, but medical authorities dismiss claims as baseless and misleading
A hospital in eastern China that claims it can help women increase their chance of conceiving twins using natural methods has been sued for misleading advertising, Chinese media reported.
The private Xinxiehe Hospital in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, claimed to use a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to help raise a women’s chances of bearing twins, Xinhua reported.
The procedures were done at the “research base for Chinese twin babies” at the hospital’s infertility department, the report said.
Media reports on successful places were exhibited outside the department’s office.
“We try to understand the conditions of the woman’s period, follicle and ovulation, and also sperm quantity and activity from the man,” Doctor Wang Xifu told a reporter.
