Restorative Reproductive Medicine (RRM) is a specialized field of medicine that identifies and treats the underlying health conditions causing reproductive dysfunction in women and men, working with the body's natural physiology rather than bypassing or suppressing it.1 RRM applies across the reproductive lifespan to conditions including infertility, recurrent miscarriage, PCOS, endometriosis, PMS/PMDD, irregular or painful periods, hormonal dysfunction, male factor conditions, and perimenopause. Care draws on cycle charting as a clinical diagnostic instrument, targeted medical workup, hormone and pharmacologic therapies, restorative surgery and andrology, and lifestyle interventions.2 RRM is an umbrella field. NaProTechnology is one well-developed method within it; others include FEMM Medical Management and NeoFertility. The goal is a body functioning at its healthy physiologic state, with fertility restored as a natural outcome of that health.3
