Acupuncture and Fertility
Acupuncture is being increasingly utilized in the West for fertility treatment. Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or employing Assisted Reproduction techniques, acupuncture can play an important and complementary role.

Research shows that acupuncture can be beneficial to:

• Regulate hormone levels
• Restore menstrual harmony and regulate the cycle
• Support ovulation
• Increase blood flow to the uterus and improve uterine wall thickening for improved implantation of the embryo
• Lower stress hormones
• Improve sperm vitality
• Helps to prevent recurrent miscarriage

When there is a known reason for infertility such as endometriosis or polycystic ovary syndrome, acupuncture can also help, sometimes in conjunction with medical interventions.

Acupuncture is not a quick fix. Regulating and preparing the body for an optimally healthy pregnancy takes time and treatments may span 4-6 months or more.
