The Acupuncture and Infertility Treatment Tandem (Anas Khan)

The tandem between acupuncture and infertility treatments sounds weird especially since the first one is a traditional Chinese method, and the latter consists of different kinds of conventional medical methods. The combination of the two actually works! It is also very efficient and highly recommended.

What is acupuncture? Acupuncture is the practice of inserting and controlling the needles into different points found on the body. This is done to reduce pain or for therapeutic functions. Just the definition of it makes people cringe, especially because needles are involved. Recently, research has shown that acupuncture is essential to the success rate of the treatments of infertility among couples.

As a form of physical therapy, acupuncture regulates the body and the flow of the blood to the organs. This will regulate the hormone levels. Once the hormone levels are normal, hormonal imbalance is avoided. This is a really good thing because imbalance in the hormones causes infertility.

Acupuncture is sometimes required or recommended to go hand in hand with some operations and procedures. In the case of the process of In Vitro fertilization or IVF, acupuncture is extremely recommended as a prerequisite to the procedure. The reason for this is because IVF preceded by acupuncture makes the whole process more effective for the couple. Results have shown that almost all cases produced successful pregnancies.

Aside from being a part of the procedure, acupuncture also helps in curing spasmed tubes, elevated follicle stimulating hormone or FSH, miscarriage, unexplained infertility, luteal phase defect, hyperprolactinemia, and polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS for the women. For men, acupuncture helps in the treatment of sperm-DNA-fragmentation. All of these are complications or conditions concerning with infertility.

As a process of healing, acupuncture needs time for the body to recover or for it to take effect. Acupuncture is done in advance so the body can prepare the body for the impending treatment and/or operation. In IVF/donor-egg transfers/insemination; a three to four month period of acupuncture is recommended before the procedure. It is also recommended even after the treatment to ensure the patient of a faster healing period.

Fertility treatments cause a lot of stress to couples experiencing it. Acupuncture also helps in relieving people of stress and of their anxiety and depression. Acupuncture is a really safe procedure. To avoid mishaps such as inserting the needle in the unnecessary points for this treatment, it is recommended that the couple get an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility treatments.
