Fertility and Acupuncture

Picture
        The earliest historical reference to Chinese Medicine's treatment of infertility dates back 2000 years, appearing in Zhang Zhong Jing's classic text The Essentials of the Golden Coffer (Jin Gui Yao Lue).
       
        Although (unfortunately) the reason for the fertility issue is usualy ascribed to the female, statistically the reason for the infertility is equally split between men and women.  (The statistics show that women and men are each responsible for 35-40 % of the infertility, with the remaining 20-30% of the cases being male and female factor.)  This is why it is extremely important for both partners to be checked for potential fertility issues.

       
Chinese Medicine has been shown to:

  • Improve blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
  • Improve sperm quality (count and motility)
  • Improve egg quality
  • Regulate the menstrual cycle
  • Treat fibroids and endometriosis
  • Improve IVF success rates
  • Regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis and regulate the endocrine system
  • Decrease the chance of a miscarriage, improve live birth rate
  • Alleviate stress
