Fertility
Whether you are planning a natural conception or artificial reproductive technique (ART) conception, acupuncture is very successful in regulating the menstrual cycle and treating imbalances present in both females and males.
Benefits of acupuncture, which optimize fertility:
Many recent acupuncture studies and trials have proved acupuncture to increase live birth rates and pregnancy rates for women receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF) by 60%, especially those who received acupuncture pre and post transfer.
At ShenGlow Acupuncture I fully understand how stressful and upsetting it can be if you have been trying to conceive to no avail. I provide and recommend preconception care to maximize fertility encompassing a treatment plan of acupuncture, healthy eating, exercise and stress relief to help you deal effectively with the challenges of work and daily life for you and your partner. Acupuncture preconception care for women and men is based on aiding the body to produce the healthiest eggs and sperm possible. Ensuring optimum health in both partners in the period leading up to conception (and maintaining it for the expectant mother) can do a lot to enhance fetal growth.
As everyone is unique in their constitution and health duration of treatment will vary, but generally 3 months of weekly treatments prior to conception prepares the body for optimal fertility and well-being.
Benefits of acupuncture, which optimize fertility:
- Regulating the menstrual cycle
- Regulating the hormones to produce a larger number of follicles
- Improving ovarian function to produce better eggs
- Improves blood circulation to the pelvic organs, including the ovaries and uterus, allowing the reproductive organs to work to their full potential
- Increases blood flow to the uterus and increases the thickness of the uterine lining
- Relaxes the patient, which reduces stress levels by decreasing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. High stress levels are associated with a reduced chance of conceiving
- Strengthens the immune system
- Relieves the side effects of fertility drugs used in IVF, IUI, ICSI
- Prevents the uterus from contracting which facilitates the embryo transfer and implantation
- Improves sperm count, motility and structural abnormalities
- Decreases the chances of miscarriage
