How acupuncture may help with Fertility:
Regulates hormones/ Supports cycle regularity:
- May influence the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, helping balance reproductive hormones like:
- FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
- LH (Luteinizing Hormone)
- Estrogen and progesterone
Improves blood flow to the uterus and ovaries
- Better blood flow = improved endometrial lining thickness and ovarian function
- May help create a more receptive uterine environment for implantation
Enhances Egg Quality
- Improves egg quality, particularly for women with diminished ovarian reserve or PCOS
- Acupuncture may improve ovarian function and egg quality, allowing for increased chances of successful fertilization
Reduces stress and anxiety
- Acupuncture promotes parasympathetic activity and reduces cortisol levels. Nervous system dysfunction can disrupt hormones and interfere with ovulation
Improves male fertility
- Acupuncture may boost s***m motility and count, reduce DNA fragmentation, and improve morphology
- Poor s***m quality can affect fertilization success, embryo development, miscarriage risk and IVF outcomes
