How effective is acupuncture in treating infertility
January 20, 2009
Though the practice of acupuncture dates back its origin to ancient China, the Western world is increasingly being aware of its benefits. Recent studies in this regard show that acupuncture medication is effective in treating infertility.
Acupuncture treatment is based on the Chinese belief that a balance in the energy flow (known as qi and chi) that occurs within the body is essential for a man to remain healthy. It is when this flow is hindered that our health pattern is negatively affected. It is based on the particular problem that different combinations of body points get stimulated with the help of acupuncture needles.
Acupuncture is now practiced as an alternative way of treating fertility problems. This mode of Chinese treatment is found to compliment the modern fertility treatments. Acupuncture is probably most effective in those couples who are experiencing a functional infertility problem such as irregular ovulation. In case of couple suffering from structural problems such as a blockage in the sperm ducts, modern fertility treatments are found to be more effective.
Some practitioners recommend Chinese herbs for both structural and operational infertility problems. Such herbal medications along with acupuncture treatment have proved to be fruitful in some couple. But, it is important to consult a medical expert while taking herbal medicine as certain herbs interfere adversely in the functioning of fertility drugs.
Through the right acupuncture treatment the body’s overall system get positively regulated and enhanced blood flow to the reproductive organs is ensured. It also stabilizes the hormone levels. This in turn will smoothen the functioning of ovaries in women and will boost the production of healthy sperm cells in men.
Acupuncture also helps women in staying relaxed during the stressful periods of fertility treatments. Acupuncture medication is found to be most beneficial in women who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF) method. Studies also indicate that women who received acupuncture treatment are considerably saved from abortions due to tubular pregnancies. However, women who suffer from blood disorders should keep away from acupuncture treatment.
