Women's Health and Fertility

     In Chinese medicine, it's believed that women's menstrual problems could be connected to their fertility. For conception to occur, the womb requires sufficient blood and energy. Acupuncture, a form of therapy offered by an acupuncturist, can assist with both the physical body and the emotions. If you're experiencing chills, this could be due to poor circulation in general. Regulating your monthly cycle and activating blood flow by acupuncture, in combination with nourishing herbs, can give you the fertility results you're looking for. If you're considering acupuncture for fertility, consult with a qualified acupuncturist trained in Chinese medicine.
     In Chinese medicine, infertility is often associated with the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The liver stores blood, the spleen manufactures blood, and the kidney oversees the entire process of reproduction. There are also two non-organ elements that play a significant role in menstruation and fertility, namely the conception vessel and the penetrating vessel. The conception vessel manages conception and requires sufficient blood and energy. The penetrating vessel takes blood from the liver to form a reservoir that supplies the conception vessel. Acupuncture, a form of therapy offered by an acupuncturist trained in Chinese medicine, can help balance the energy flow within the organs and vessels and improve fertility. If you're experiencing infertility, consider seeking acupuncture as an adjunct therapy to improve your chances of conception.

The Results are In

  1. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that acupuncture, when used in combination with conventional fertility treatments, significantly improved pregnancy rates and live births in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) compared to conventional fertility treatments alone.
  2. Another study found that acupuncture improved menstrual regularity and hormone levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a common cause of infertility.
  3. A randomized controlled trial found that acupuncture improved ovulation and pregnancy rates in women with infertility due to anovulation, a condition where the ovaries do not release eggs regularly.
  4. A retrospective cohort study found that acupuncture significantly improved pregnancy rates and live births in women with unexplained infertility compared to no acupuncture treatment.
  5. A randomized controlled trial found that acupuncture improved pregnancy rates and reduced the incidence of miscarriage in women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. 
  6. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that acupuncture improved pregnancy rates and live births in women undergoing IVF, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and natural conception.
