Infertility Acupuncture

Acupuncture along with Chinese herbal Medicine and Nutritional supplements are commonly used to treat both male and female fertility problems. Acupuncture and herbs can help to improve the ovarian function, regulate periods, improve ovulation, improve egg quality in women and sperm parameters in men. Acupuncture effects the release of neuropeptides such as Beta-endorphins which in turn can affect the secretion of GnRH (Gonadotrophin releasing hormone from Hypothalamus) which stimulates the posterior Pituitary gland to release gonadotrophins such as FSH and LH. These hormones regulate menstruation and induce ovulation and acupuncture can modulate the release of these hormones.

Multiple studies have shown Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and herbs) to be very effective in treating infertility and improve pregnancy and increase live birth rate. In one study patients who received  Whole System Traditional Chinese Medicine (WS-TCM) which includes Acupuncture and Chinese herbs in addition to their IVF protocols had a higher pregnancy rate and live birth rate compare to patients who had western fertility treatments such as IVF alone. Another study showed receiving acupuncture treatments 25 minutes before and after fresh embryo transfer was associated with a higher pregnancy rate.

Acupuncture can help with fertility by increasing blood flow to the Uterus and Ovaries therefore increasing both Ovarian Sensitivity to gonadotropins and improving the Uterine Lining for implantation. Acupuncture can help to relax the patient to induce parasympathetic nervous system dominance and increase pregnancy success rate.  Acupuncture also lessens many of the unwanted side-effects of ART treatment. During pregnancy Acupuncture can reduce morning sickness, help with migraine headaches and reduce pregnancy related low back and joint pain.

Chinese herbal medicine have been used for women’s health and fertility for years, Studies have shown that Chinese herbal formula contains herbs that support the folliculogenesis cycle invigorates blood, improves microcirculation to both ovaries and uterus, and resolves masses to benefit both ovary and uterus. Chinese herbal medicines (CHM) have long been used for the treatment of infertility. Numerous studies demonstrated that CHM could regulate the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) to induce ovulation and improve the uterus blood flow and menstrual changes of endometrium.
