Female Fertility Treatment at Central Earth Acupuncture, Cupping & Massage
A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
When it comes to getting pregnant, old world techniques like Acupuncture for Fertility may be just what today's high-tech doctors will order.
If headlines are any indication of what's hot and what's not, it's easy to believe that infertility treatment is strictly a modern day science, made possible solely through the courtesy of high-tech medicine. But as good as modern science is, many couples trying to get pregnant find themselves turning to an age-old treatment for help -- one so steeped in tradition it's about as far from life in the 21st century as one can get.
That treatment is acupuncture, and today, even high-tech reproductive specialists are looking to the somewhat mysterious world of Chinese medicine to help those fertility patients for whom western science alone is not quite enough. As an ancient Chinese medicine treatment, the needles used for acupuncture will help stimulate certain key "energy points" believed to regulate spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical balance. And, for many women, it's often just what the doctor ordered.
There’s evidence that acupuncture may help improve fertility in women with many health conditions. These include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hypothyroidism, and ovulation problems. A few studies have shown improvement in fertility with acupuncture. But the evidence has been mixed at times. And it’s not clear exactly how it works to improve fertility.
Women who were randomized to receive acupuncture before their embryo transfer were twice as likely to get pregnant as those who did not receive it. Another study found that for women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), getting an acupuncture session before and after the embryo transfer procedure raised the pregnancy rate from 26% to 42%.
Acupuncture can help regulate the immune system, bringing the immune response back into balance. It also works to reduce systemic inflammation, which may be contributing to heightened autoimmune symptoms. An autoimmune condition suggests that there is either an excess or deficiency within the body and Chinese medicine can treat this imbalance, providing a specific holistic diagnosis that will address the root condition rather than just the physical signs and symptoms.
Acupuncture may potentially improve your fertility in several ways:
Balance Hormones
Acupuncture stimulates the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing and releasing hormones that affect ovulation, menstruation, and pregnancy. By balancing the levels of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), acupuncture may help better prepare your body for fertility treatment.
Increases Blood Flow
Acupuncture helps to increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs, especially the uterus and ovaries. This may improve the quality and quantity of eggs and the thickness and receptivity of the uterine lining. A well-nourished uterus and ovaries can increase your chances of conceiving and carrying a healthy baby.
Reduces Stress
Stress can have a negative impact on your fertility by disrupting your hormonal balance, affecting your ovulation, and lowering your libido. Acupuncture is known to reduce stress by stimulating the release of endorphins. It also can calm your nervous system and lower your blood pressure, improving your overall health and well-being.
