Acupuncture for Fertility/women’s health

Acupuncture can support women’s health through each phase of life, whether it’s to regulate periods, promote fertility or support women through menopausal symptoms.
Some women who experience painful and/or heavy periods can get significant relief from receiving acupuncture treatment.

Some conditions treated in clinic include:

• Fibroids
• Endometriosis
• PCOS
• PMT
• Dysmenorrhea (irregular periods)
• Amenorrhea (missed periods)
• Menopausal symptoms (hot flushes, hormonal imbalances, insomnia etc)

Fertility

TCM Acupuncture treatment can be beneficial in supporting and boosting natural fertility for both
men and women. It can also be undertaken alongside IVF treatments to enhance probability of
conception and gestation to term.
Whether trying to conceive naturally or through IVF, acupuncture, alongside some lifestyle and dietary
changes, can be beneficial in treating conditions that negatively affect fertility

Some common issues that arise in clinic are as follows:

• Unexplained infertility
• Repeated implantation failure
• Male Infertility
• Repeated miscarriage
• Multiple failed rounds of IVF.

Acupuncture in pregnancy

Acupuncture is not a substitute for Western prenatal medical care but is possibly the safest alternative treatment to ease the most common problems during pregnancy.

TCM and Acupuncture offer complementary care that has many benefits and very few side effects unlike many drugs.

Acupuncture may also help with fertility. Studies show that acupuncture can increase the chances that assisted reproductive technologies (ART) will result in a live birth by 10 to 15 percent or more, for example. Acupuncture also has been proved to help during Labor and to ease post partum disorders.
