Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat various medical conditions, including infertility. In recent years, it has gained popularity as an adjunct therapy to improve the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Improving fertility with Acupuncture
Studies have shown that it can increase the success rate of IVF by up to 42%.
This can help improve the success of IVF by regulating the hormonal system and increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, and also has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety levels in patients undergoing IVF, which can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
Before starting acupuncture treatment, it is recommended to consult with a licensed acupuncturist who has experience in treating infertility.
At Healing Light Acupuncture, our expert team will evaluate and create a treatment plan tailored to cover all your needs.
The process
During the acupuncture treatment, small, sterile needles are inserted into specific points on the body. These points are believed to correspond to different organs and systems in the body, and by stimulating them, the body’s natural healing processes are activated.
The treatment is typically painless, and many patients find it to be relaxing and therapeutic.
It is recommended to start acupuncture treatments two full months before the IVF procedure to prepare the body for the process. The reason is that it takes 60-90 days for the entire hormonal cycle to regulate and improve the female egg quality in preparing for egg retrieval or IVF transfer.
Acupuncture is a valuable adjunct therapy for patients undergoing IVF. It can help regulate the hormonal system, increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, and reduce stress and anxiety levels.
