Acupuncture for Fertility
Acupuncture is one type of a Traditional Chinese Medicine which is used for over a thousand years in Asian countries to treat a variety of ailments, disorders, and conditions that are negatively affecting the human body. Having known to be one of the oldest healing practices in ancient Chinese, acupuncture has also been proved to cure fertility problems by strategically pricking sterile needles in the human body to regulate body functions. Furthermore, the process serves to exchange electrons within the meridians so that the body can function efficiently.
Although it seems to be scary and painful looking at the hundreds of needles pinned in different parts of the body, acupuncture actually helps relieve the pressure brought by negative energies encountered by the body and patches up the flow of good energies to boost fertility.
How Acupuncture For Infertility Works
Acupuncture for infertility sends good energy by pinning the needles in a strategically manner through the meridians in the body which are related with fertility problems. These meridians include the penetrating meridian which is responsible for good hormone balance; conception meridian which stimulates normal amount of estrogen needed for conception; and lastly is the girdle meridian which works as a protecting layer that connects the penetrating and conception meridian to prevent vaginal leakage and miscarriage.
When needles are inserted to these meridians, the pressure exerted therein sends sensory messages to the brain particularly in the hypothalamus to regulate production of hormones as well as endorphins which allows the different organs in the body to function at their peak capacity.
Acupuncture IVF and pregnancy in women
For women acupuncture IVF increases the blood flow to the uterus so that the fertilized egg can easily implant itself in the uterus. In some cases, when women suffers under some health condition such as having PCOS or Endometrioses, acupuncture also works to cure them. For women having PCOS, it helps restore the normal function of the ovulation and production related hormones by reducing the hypersympathetic nervous system.
Firstly, by inserting needles in the specific meridian assigned for such, acupuncture for fertility rekindles the endorphins which are very important functions in maintaining organs work and rebalancing the body. As women feel the needle prick in the skin, the body creates a micro electric current which helps release prostaglandins and regulates hormones to send sensory message to the brain to relax. The same thing happens upon treating Endometrioses in women. The good effect it can bring to one under such condition is hinder the persistence of its bad effects to reproduction such as blockage in the fallopian tube, destruction of the frimbale which helps normal release of egg through the tube, and growth of cysts.
Acupuncture IVF and sperm motility in men
Male acupuncture IVF brings in various positive affects to the three major factors of fertility in men such as sperm production, motility, and morphology. Studies show that men who go into acupuncture treatment are benefited for improved concentration and sperm production and motility by stimulating the pituitary gland. It is understandable that more sperm production and higher motility are needed for couples to achieve higher chances of pregnancy. In addition, acupuncture also helps other male fertility issues such as impotence and erectile dysfunction, enlarged prostate, testicular pain, and painful urination.
