Acupuncture helps with infertility in the following ways:

1. Promoting Blood Flow: Acupuncture can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, uterus, and testes. This increased blood flow may enhance the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to these organs, potentially improving their function.

​

2. Regulating Hormones: Acupuncture has been shown to help regulate hormone levels, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estrogen. Balancing these hormones can have a positive impact on fertility.

​

3. Reducing Stress: Infertility can be a stressful experience, and stress can have a negative impact on fertility. Acupuncture is known for its ability to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and regulate the body's stress response, which may indirectly improve fertility.

​

4. Supporting Reproductive Health: Acupuncture may help address underlying factors that can affect fertility, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, or irregular menstrual cycles. By targeting specific acupuncture points, the body's natural healing mechanisms can be stimulated to address these issues.

​

5. Enhancing Assisted Reproductive Techniques: Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with assisted reproductive techniques, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI). Studies suggest that acupuncture before and after these procedures may improve their success rates by promoting relaxation, reducing side effects, and optimizing the uterine environment.

It's important to remember that individual results may vary, and acupuncture should be used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional medical approaches for infertility.
