IVF and Infertility Support
The treatment of infertility with acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dates back 2,000 years. These ancient tested techniques improve fertility rates and support a woman's whole body allowing for unlimited potential for health, healing and childbearing.
One study found acupuncture may improve the quality of life in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). It was also found women receiving acupuncture reported significantly less abdominal pain, other pain, nausea, and stress two hours after egg collection compared to women receiving conventional analgesia. Pregnancy Studies reported bv The American Association suggest that the most effective fertility treatments involve a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and traditional medical interventions. However, conception does sometimes occur without traditional medical interventions when acupuncture and herbal medicines are used alone.
Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York reviewed recent studies and concluded acupuncture helps to:
• Increased blood flow to the uterus, improving chances of an embryo implanting on the uterine wall.
• Anxiety and stress reduction, as stress hormones can significantly decrease fertility chances.
• Hormone and endocrine system balance to help regulate ovulation, especially in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
• Positively influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, which plays a key role in fertility.
• Regulation the menstrual cycle.
In 2008, the British Medical Journal published research that concluded acupuncture can be offered as a significant, clinically relevant adjunct to IVF, relaxing the uterus and increasing blood flow for the successful implantation of an embryo within the uterine lining.
