Acupuncture, a form of traditional Chinese medicine, involves the insertion of fine needles at specific points to stimulate energy flow or “qi.” Many women use acupuncture to improve fertility, increase their chances of becoming pregnant and support a healthy pregnancy. Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that can help with fertility. It has been proven to increase the chances of pregnancy and improve reproductive function. It can be used as a complementary therapy to help manage pregnancy symptoms and promote a healthy pregnancy. These are a few of the many benefits of acupuncture during pregnancy and fertility:
Acupuncture increases blood flow in the ovaries, improving eggs’ quality and the chances for successful fertilization. It has been proven that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the ovaries, uterus and improve ovarian functions and the chances of fertilization. Acupuncture can increase blood flow to deliver more oxygen and nutrients into the ovaries, improving the quality and health of the eggs. This increases the chance of successful pregnancy and fertilization. Acupuncture can also regulate hormone production and release, impacting eggs’ quality and ovulation.

It can be used with IVF and IUI treatments, such as intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization (IVF), to increase the success rate of these treatments. Acupuncture is used with fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination to increase the success rate of these treatments. In conjunction with IVF and IUI, acupuncture has been shown to increase the chance of a successful pregnancy in several studies. Acupuncture is also used to manage side effects from fertility treatments, such as mood swings, bloating, and cramping. Acupuncture reduces stress.

Acupuncture regulates hormones. This includes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), the luteinizing hormonal (LH), and progesterone. These hormones can influence ovulation, menstrual cycles, and follicle stimulation. Acupuncture has been shown by research to regulate hormones involved in the menstrual cycles and ovulation. These include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), LH, and progesterone. Acupuncture can improve the chances of conception by improving hormone balance.

Supports healthy pregnancies: Acupuncture helps relieve pregnancy symptoms like nausea, back pain, and fatigue. It can also promote a healthier pregnancy by reducing miscarriage risk and preterm labor.
Relief of nausea and vomiting. Acupuncture is effective in relieving morning sickness, nausea, and vomiting during pregnancy. This is a common problem for many women.
Reduce back pain and Sciatica: Acupuncture helps reduce back pain and sciatica that can occur during pregnancy due to the additional weight and pressure placed on the spine and the nerves. Acupuncture stimulates specific points in the body to regulate the flow of Qi throughout the body. Acupuncture can reduce inflammation and promote circulation and relaxation by stimulating these points. This can alleviate back and sciatica pain.
Acupuncture helps improve sleep, which can be disrupted by hormonal changes and physical discomfort during pregnancy.
Supporting labor: Acupuncture is used to prepare the body to deliver the baby by stimulating contractions.
Reduced risk of complications. Acupuncture helps reduce the chances of pregnancy-related problems such as preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. Some studies also suggest that acupuncture can reduce the risk of preterm birth. In a study published in Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, women who had acupuncture received a lower preterm birth rate than those who didn’t. It is not known how acupuncture can reduce these risks, but some believe that it helps regulate hormones, improves circulation, and reduces inflammation. All of these factors contribute to a healthy pregnancy.
While acupuncture is a complementary therapy that can help with fertility and pregnancy, a licensed acupuncturist should perform it. This person must have experience treating pregnant women. Consult your healthcare provider prior to starting any new therapy during pregnancy.
