Acupuncture and TCM offer a safe, natural, and low-cost approach to the treatment of infertility. These ancient techniques can be used as a primary treatment for infertility, or to enhance the effectiveness of reproductive medical procedures such as IUI and IVF. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, infertility is considered to be an imbalance in the body, not a matter-of-fact condition of infertility. The use of acupuncture and herbs has high success rates in treating infertility in both women and men.

How Acupuncture Treats Infertility

Acupuncture and TCM can greatly enhance fertility by addressing a wide range of factors that contribute to infertility. These include stress, ovulation disorders, endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Stress plays a major role in the regulation of hormones in the body. High levels of stress hormones are known to suppress fertility and decrease the chances of a natural conception. Acupuncture counters the effects of stress and cortisol production by releasing endorphins in the brain, which exert a calming effect on the body. This helps to balance the hormone levels in the body, which is key to the reproductive cycle.

Acupuncture also increases blood flow in the body, specifically to the pelvic area. This provides a woman's reproductive organs with more nourishment. Improved circulation to the ovaries can lead to improved egg quality, and improved circulation to the uterus can lead to a thicker uterine lining, enhancing the likelihood of embryo implantation.

Female Infertility

Studies have shown that acupuncture helps to increase blood flow to the uterus, reduce anxiety and stress, normalize the hormone systems that regulate ovulation, and regulate the menstrual cycle. These benefits can significantly improve the chances of embryo implantation and pregnancy.

Male Factor Infertility

Male factor infertility is responsible for up to 50% of infertility among couples. Acupuncture and TCM has shown to be very successful in treating low sperm count, poor morphology, and decreased motility. By improving sperm quality and quantity, acupuncture can significantly increase the chances of natural conception or the success of IUI and IVF procedures.
