Acupuncture and Fertility

HOW ACUPUNCTURTE ENHANCES FERTILITY


Acupuncture and Chinese medicine offer an effective, time-tested approach to enhancing fertility and treating infertility. In fact, acupuncture has been used successfully for infertility treatment for thousands of years.


Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be used in combination with conventional reproductive medical care or as a primary treatment approach. Acupuncture can be effective for women taking fertility drugs or Reproductive Technology techniques (such as IVF or IUI).


Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese medicine can also be effective as a standalone approach to treat infertility for those not undergoing conventional medical treatment


Acupuncture helps to regulate hormonal activity, thus regulating menstruation, ovulation, and pregnancy.


A recent study from the British Medical Journal found that among women who received acupuncture and IVF, the pregnancy rates were 65% higher and the rates of live births were nearly twice as high than among women who received IVF with sham acupuncture or no acupuncture.


Acupuncture helps to reduce stress and decrease the hyper sympathetic nervous system response.

Studies have shown that high stress levels decrease the likelihood of conceiving.

Acupuncture has been shown to stimulate chemical changes within the uterine lining, thickening the endometrium and preparing the uterus for implantation.


In men, acupuncture can improve sperm motility, volume and concentration as well as increase libido.


From the perspective of Chinese Medicine optimum fertility enhancement would involve a course of treatments with the aim of nourishing the Kidney Essence & regulating the Menstrual Cycle as well as clearing any pathogens that may be interfering with the natural process of conception.

Fertility through Acupuncture

Married couples who've been together for three to five years now wonder what might be wrong with them because even without any form of protection they still could not conceive the child they so desire. Thus they undergo check-up with the physicians and they are then informed that they have infertility issues, same as a number of individuals.


The information then sends the pair to various clinics looking for a cure and get rid for good the not-so rare medical condition. Just when they thought they've done it all, they're introduced to the world of acupuncture and fertility. Well, at least that's the goal: for the couple to be as fertile as possible so they could bear children.


Acupuncture is that specific type of treatment that involves the insertion of very thin needles in certain body parts which are considered as acupuncture points. These points subsequently represent the numerous organs of the human body that when needled react in a fashion that changes the way in which the organ is functioning.


It comes as no wonder then that acupuncture and fertility go together.

Infertility happens for so many reasons but the most typical reason behind infertility is when there is under working of a person's thyroid glands called hypothyroidism or over working of the same glands that is also termed as hyperthyroidism. So if the glands are acupunctured for correcting the said causes, infertility is then reversed as well. It now becomes easier to conceive.

Now that one is aware that acupuncture and fertility go beautifully together without the dangerous side effects, as acupuncture is a natural type of medical intervention, it's high time that one is properly ushered into loving the wonderful science and art that is acupuncture.


Acupuncture treatment methods are kind of like undergoing physical therapy sessions and it is said that it is most reliable when it happens before and after traditional medical intercessions for example in vitro fertilization or insemination. Patients who want to experience both acupuncture and artificial conception methods are encouraged to undergo acupuncture at most four months and at least three months prior to the medical intervention of choice. Then, once the latter is completed, patients are required to go under another acupuncture session to strengthen the traditional medical intercession. This happens for another three months to reinforce the preferred medical intervention and to prevent a miscarriage from ever occurring.


That's the best means to utilize acupuncture to achieve fertility and conception. It's that easy and convenient. All you've got to do now is find himself a licensed acupuncturist that acupuncture and fertility might go well together. You need a true-blue acupuncture practitioner that one may be assured that the needles being inserted into his body are not just the right ones but are also needling the right places or acupuncture points.


This is the means for one to use acupuncture towards fertility, since acupuncture could make a person at risk medically if it is not practiced the right way so be careful in choosing the professional who will handle it.
