They swear it doesn’t hurt: Acupuncture

Submitted by Angie Fri 02/06/2009
Some research supports the theory that Chinese medicine works to promote and support fertility. Both affective for treating men and women who are reproductively challenged, it can take some time to regulate the system. While most of my patients come to me already undergoing Western medical treatments for fertility (Assisted Reproductive Techniques, or ART), it can take 3-6 months of acupuncture treatments, accompanied by dietary and lifestyle changes to regulate the woman's menstrual cycle.

The Benefits of Acupuncture for Fertility are thought to be:

• Helps with relaxation and stress by producing endorphins
• Helps detoxify the body to lessen side-effects of IVF medications
• Regulates hormones which in effect help the follicles and ovaries
• Strengthens and regulates the immune system
• Tonifies the uterus to help in the prevention of miscarriage
• Prevents uterine contraction post IVF
• Increases blood flow to the uterus
