💡DID YOU KNOW: At least 1 in every 4 couples try to get acupuncture treatment for fertility to help them get pregnant naturally or when trying to conceive with the help of medical infertility treatment?
So how does acupuncture really help a person's fertility? Acupuncture improves fertility by regulating fertility hormones. This means that it also increases the number of good quality eggs when you try acupuncture treatments and will optimize the uterine environment and will also reduce stress and anxiety levels. Acupuncture also helps improve male fertility by increasing sperm quantity and quality.
Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice and is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It aims to restore balance and harmony by stimulating specific points along the meridians using thin needles. By inserting the needles into these point to seek to rebalance of the flow Qi and promote the body's natural healing abilities.
Common acupuncture points used for fertility includes the Ren and Du meridians, which run along the front and back midline of the body, respectively. These meridians are considered fundamental to address reproductive issues.
Acupuncture Regulates Female Reproductive Hormones
Female reproductive hormones need to be carefully balanced for optimal fertility. One such hormone is Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and is necessary for ovarian follicles to grow and mature. A recent major study concluded that acupuncture positively alters how reproductive hormones are secreted.
Acupuncture has been recognized as a potential complementary therapy for enhancing fertility and improving reproductive health. The connection between acupuncture and fertility lies in its ability to regulate the body's hormonal balance, enhance blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduce stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact fertility.
Acupuncture Also Improves Sperm Quantity and Quality and Helps with Embryo Implantation
One of the possible explanations why IVF / ICSI does not overcome all male fertility issues is because it cannot alter the quality of sperm; it only attempts to select the 'best looking' sperm and then inject in into the egg.
Research shows that the effects of acupuncture on male fertility has positively influence sperm parameters, including sperm concentration, motility, vitality, and county. Acupuncture also helps regulate testosterone levels. This is extremely important in every male partner in order for their body to have adequate sperm production.
Lastly, evidence suggests that acupuncture increases embryo implantation rates. Embryo implantation is dependent on many factors, including good blood supply to the uterus. Acupuncture is indeed beneficial for fertility as this can successfully increase the blood flow to the reproductive organs.
Acupuncture Points are Commonly Used for Fertility Treatment
Several acupuncture points are commonly used for fertility treatment. The selection of these points may vary based on the individual's specific needs and underlying causes of infertility. Some commonly targeted acupuncture points include:
Ren-4 and Ren-6: These points are located along the Ren meridian, which is associated with the reproductive system. Stimulating these points can help regulate menstrual cycles, balance hormones, and improve the overall function of the reproductive organs.
Spleen-6: Located on the inner leg, this acupuncture point is believed to promote blood flow to the pelvic area, enhance fertility, and regulate the menstrual cycle.
Kidney-3: This point is known for its association with the Kidney meridian, which plays a vital role in fertility. Stimulating Kidney-3 may help improve kidney function, support hormonal balance, and enhance reproductive health.
Liver-3: The Liver meridian is connected to the menstrual cycle and emotional well-being. Stimulating Liver-3 can help regulate the menstrual cycle, reduce stress, and promote emotional balance.
