Acupuncture and Infertility

Modern day women can encounter multiple blocks to getting pregnant. The root cause or causes of infertility are typically complex and at the same time unique to each individual. This calls for care which is highly personal and specific to each woman.

This is where acupuncture excels in the support of fertility. For some 3,000-4,000 years Traditional Chinese Medicine has made use of acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs for making babies as well as general health care.

About acupuncture and infertility

Being an ICU RN for 29 years, I use a blend of my conventional medicine experience as well as my 17 years of experience in both 5-Element Constitutional diagnosis and Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis for fertility care. Many acupuncturists are trained in either 5-Element Constitutional diagnosis OR Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis as opposed to both, and most do not have a medical background. The blend of these trusted medicines supports a woman’s unique constitution as well as the prominent patterns impacting her ability to conceive and carry to term. Male reproduction challenges are also well treated within this system. Below are realms of fertility, for both men and women, in which I can help.

Infertility issues well supported by acupuncture include:

  • Autoimmune patterns (endocrine system issues which impair fertility)
  • Diminished Ovarian Reserve
  • Endometriosis
  • Fibroids
  • Male Factor Infertility
  • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
  • Premature Ovarian Failure (POF)
  • Repeated Pregnancy Loss (RPL)

Menstrual cycle irregularities well supported by acupuncture include:

  • Amenorrhea (no menstrual cycle)
  • Dsymenorrhea (painful menstrual cycles)
  • Oligomenorrhea (infrequent cycles)
  • Metrorrhagia (abnormal uterine bleeding)

Male reproductive health supported by acupuncture and Chinese medicinal herbs:

  • Improved sperm count
  • Improved sperm morphology
  • Improved sperm motility
  • Modulation of hormones

Complimentary support for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) includes:

  • Side effects of fertility medications
  • In Vitro Fertilization support (IVF)
  • Intrauterine Insemination support (IUI)
  • Intracyctoplasmic Sperm Injection support (ICSI)
  • Post-surgical procedure wound healing
  • Post-surgical procedure pain management
