Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine can boost both male and female's fertility.
Acupuncture has a long history when it comes to improving fertility. Not only does it help relieve stress ( which is shown to interfere with getting pregnant ), but it also helps regulate the menstrual cycle and improve blood flow in the uterus.
Acupuncture can also help improve male fertility. Studies have shown that regular treatments significantly improve sperm counts and motility. In a study published in Fertility and Sterility in 2005, researchers analyzed sperm samples from men with infertility of unknown cause before and after acupuncture treatments. They found that acupuncture was associated with fewer structural defects in sperm and an increase in the number of normal sperm.
Other benefits of acupuncture include:
1. Regulating the menstrual cycle
2. Addressing pre-existing medical conditions or concerns
3. Improving sperm count and mobility
4. Reducing stress and anxiety associated with infertility
5. Normalizing hormone and endocrine systems
6. Improve blood flow in the uterus
7. Increase the chance of conceiving naturally
8. Decreasing the chance of miscarriage
9. Increasing the chance of pregnancy for women undergoing in vitro fertilization ( IVF ) or IUI
Tests have shown that women undergoing IVF were 65 percent more likely to become pregnant when they combined the procedure with acupuncture. The remarkable success rate occurred across seven acupuncture trials involving 1,366 women in a systematic review and meta-analysis published in a February, 2008 issue of British Medical Journal.
Acupuncture is an ancient tradition that has been proven to work time and time again, and is worth trying to improve the chances of pregnancy.
