Fertility Acupuncture
Services
Fertility acupuncture is a specialized form of acupuncture that focuses on enhancing reproductive health and supporting conception.
Acupuncture works by stimulating certain points on the body to enhance energy flow and remove blockages. When applied to fertility, acupuncture helps:
-
Improve blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, which can help create a healthier environment for egg fertilization and implantation.
-
Regulate hormone levels, including increasing the production of progesterone and estrogen, both crucial for conception.
-
Balance the menstrual cycle, helping to normalize irregular cycles and treat conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or endometriosis.
-
Reduce stress, which is a major factor that can negatively impact fertility. Acupuncture promotes relaxation and stimulates the body’s natural endorphin production, helping to reduce anxiety and enhance emotional well-being.
Fertility Acupuncture can benefit those trying to conceive naturally as well as individuals undergoing assisted reproductive technologies like IVF.
Fertility Acupuncture and Assisted Reproductive Technologies (IVF and IUI)
Fertility Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with IVF treatments to enhance the chances of success. Studies show that women who receive acupuncture before and after embryo transfer may have higher implantation rates and increased chances of a successful pregnancy.
