Heal your Mind, Body and Soul

A Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Aiea, HI
Acupuncture helps fertility by addressing problems such as an under-functioning thyroid (Hypothyroidism) or over-functioning thyroid (Hyperthyroidism). Many patients seek additional support like acupuncture to help nurture their well-being, hoping to optimize outcomes on their path to parenthood. Acupuncture treatments have been recognized nowadays to support fertility and overall health.
Acupuncture is the insertion of ultra-thin, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body which reside on channels or meridians; these are pathways in both the exterior and interior of the body. These points, when needled, can regulate the way in which the body functions. It is also an integral part of Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupuncture, frequently combined with herbal medicine, has been used for centuries to treat some causes of infertility. Oahu Acupuncture Clinic in Aiea, HI provides acupuncture as a supplementary service for patients undergoing fertility treatments, including in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfers.
Acupuncture is similar to physical therapy in that it is a process-oriented method of medical intervention. Patients are commonly treated for three to four months before progressing to insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), or donor-egg transfer. A study once shows that women are encouraged to receive acupuncture treatments pre and post embryo transfer.
Clinical observations from the Berkley Center for Reproductive Wellness suggest that the most effective fertility treatments involve a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, and traditional medicine. On the other hand, conception occasionally occurs when acupuncture and herbal medicines are used without traditional medical interventions.
Acupuncture is often combined with herbal remedies to treat elevated follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), repeated pregnancy loss, unexplained (idiopathic) infertility, luteal phase defect, hyperprolactinemia (when not caused by a prolactinoma), Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) with anovulatory cycles and male factor including men affected with sperm-DNA-fragmentation.
Acupuncture can be used to treat any type of fertility disorder including spasmed tubes. Spasmed tubes are often de-spasmed with acupuncture, though blocked tubes will not respond to acupuncture. Acupuncture may also potentially improve your fertility in several ways, such as:
BALANCED HORMONES
Acupuncture stimulates the endocrine system, which is responsible for producing and releasing hormones that affect ovulation, menstruation, and pregnancy. By balancing the levels of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and luteinizing hormone (LH), acupuncture may help better prepare your body for fertility treatment.
INCREASES BLOOD FLOW
Acupuncture helps to increase blood circulation to the reproductive organs, especially the uterus and ovaries. This may improve the quality and quantity of eggs and the thickness and receptivity of the uterine lining. A well-nourished uterus and ovaries can increase your chances of conceiving and carrying a healthy baby.
REDUCES STRESS
Stress can have a negative impact on your fertility by disrupting your hormonal balance, affecting your ovulation, and lowering your libido. Acupuncture is known to reduce stress by stimulating the release of endorphins. It also can calm your nervous system and lower your blood pressure, improving your overall health and well-being.
Dr. Annie Yang 杨, Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, is highly trained and experienced in her field. She also collaborates with fertility doctors to create customized treatment plans that address each patient's unique fertility journey.
Acupuncture can be a valuable addition to your fertility treatment plan, whether you are trying to conceive naturally or with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as IVF. Here are some of the ways acupuncture can complement your fertility treatments:
SUPPORTS OVERALL WELLNESS
Acupuncture can help you address other health issues that may affect your fertility indirectly, such as insomnia, digestive problems, allergies, or chronic pain. By improving your sleep quality, digestion, immunity, and pain relief, acupuncture can help you feel more comfortable and energetic throughout your fertility journey.
PROMOTES EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING
Acupuncture can help you cope by providing a safe and supportive space to express yourself and receive compassionate care. Acupuncture can also help you cultivate a positive and hopeful mindset to boost your confidence and resilience.
ENHANCES IVF OUTCOMES
Acupuncture can also help reduce some side effects of IVF medications, such as bloating, nausea, headaches, and mood swings. It also has the ability to improve blood flow to the uterus, relax the uterine muscles, and reduce stress and anxiety.
