Acupuncture treatments are beneficial in promoting follicle production, enhancing uterine blood flow and improving uterine lining, which will give a better chance for the eggs to be nourished and therefore carried. Circulation of blood to the pelvic cavity and improvement of ovarian function would makes for healthier eggs.

There are many important aspects to getting pregnant. First of course is conception. Conception requires able sperm as much as functioning ovaries and uterus. However, all gynecological diseases and a number of non-gynecological conditions affect fertility. Early pregnancy care and history of miscarriage are also important issues that Acupuncture fertility specialist would like to pay close attention to. Preparation of healthy gametes and a healthy body before pregnancy is even attempted is significant in preventing miscarriage and to ensure an optimal start to the pregnancy. This is especially important if the risk of miscarriage is high.

There is a strong correlation between age and reproductive health. However, it is important to remember that there are two types of aging: chronological and biological. While everyone ages at the same speed chronologically, the biological aging process differs greatly among each individual. While it is generally true that the quality of a woman's eggs declines as she ages, eggs of some women in a more advanced age can be of excellent quality due to slow biological aging. Practicing a healthy lifestyle in addition to regular acupuncture treatments will have a positive impact in slowing down the biological aging process and therefore enhancing the reproductive health.

    Acupuncture & IVF

    pregnancy test

    Acupuncture has been suggested as a means to increase pregnancy rates during IVF treatment.The most immediate possible effect is that acupuncture served to "relax" the uterus around the time of the transfer which will make the uterus more receptive to implantation. Several studies have shown that the uterus has contractions and that these contractions could cause expulsion of the transferred IVF embryos. If the contractions were reduced by acupuncture then that could be a mechanism for an improvement in IVF pregnancy rate.
