Acupuncture for female & male fertility

Treating infertility in both men and women with acupuncture and herbal formulations is among Six Fishes specialties. Research studies have demonstrated that Chinese medicine enhances the results of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) by around 42%. Although some of our clients decide to use just acupuncture and herbs to support their pregnancy attempts, others use it to supplement western treatments and procedures of fertility treatment. Our team is highly experienced and comfortable with either approach.

One of the conditions treated are menstrual cycle disorders, such as irregular menses or amenorrhea, premature ovarian failure and diminished ovarian reserve, elevated FSH levels, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), Endometriosis, Luteal Phase defects, recurrent miscarriage, tubal congestion, autoimmune disorders, low sperm count and poor sperm morphology. The most frequent diagnosis we strike is “unexplained fertility.” In the event you and your spouse are having difficulty conceiving, specialists consider you each can benefit from acupuncture and Chinese herbal therapy.

Acupuncture can increase fertility by reducing stress, increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs and balancing the endocrine system, according to a lot of studies and clinical study. The aim of an infertility treatment from a Chinese medicine perspective isn’t only to get pregnant, but to stay pregnant and to have a healthy baby. Among numerous other benefits, acupuncture can provide better blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, which makes a stronger chance for an egg to be nourished and carried to term.

Acupuncture comprises the gentle insertion and stimulation of thin, disposable sterile needles at strategic points around the surface of the body. Over 2,000 acupuncture points on the human body connect with 14 significant pathways, called meridians. Chinese medicine practitioners believe that these meridians conduct qi, or energy, between the surface of the body and internal organs. It is qi that regulates spiritual, emotional, physical and mental equilibrium. When the flow of qi is disrupted through poor health habits or other ailments, pain or disease can result. Acupuncture can help maintain the normal flow of the energy unblocked, thereby increasing a couple’s chances of conceiving.

We use customized herbal formulations to improve fertility, which we coordinate with women’s basal temperature charts.
