How does acupuncture help in treating infertility?

Hello,
Acupuncturists treat infertility by addressing the underlying problems that affect fertility such as an under-functioning thyroid (hypothyroidism) or over-functioning thyroid (hyperthyroidism). Although not all underlying infertility problems can be treated by acupuncture, the treatment's effect of improved ovarian and follicular function generally improves fertility. Additionally, acupuncture can increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to facilitate a thick, rich lining which in turn improves fertility. This is generally how acupuncture works for infertility, but every patient's case is different. For me to be able to come up with a treatment plan which includes acupuncture treatments and herbs I would need to meet with the patient and set up a plan specific for them.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more, please do not hesitate to contact us at Mulberry Leaf Acupuncture & Herbs.
