For many women the fertility journey can be long and arduous. What should be a happy occasion, turns sour. The longer it goes without a successful pregnancy, the more anxious, stressed, and upset you can become. Often times leading to growing tension with your partner, avoiding friends’ baby showers, and experiencing a growing sense of isolation.
Fortunately, acupuncture has a long history of helping women to conceive and families to grow. Acupuncture has a powerful effect on the reproductive system and the fertility process. Women can use Traditional Chinese Medicine alone, or can combine it with Western Medicine to regulate their hormones, improve your health, and increase their changes of a successful pregnancy.
There have been multiple studies that confirm the positive effect acupuncture has on fertility. Some of the positive effects of acupuncture on fertility are:
Regulating the menstrual cycle
Improving egg quality and uterine lining
Increase of blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
Reduce stress (an often unacknowledged fertility issue)
Improved sperm count and motility
Improve success from IVF
Decreased chances of miscarriage
