How Acupuncture Helps Infertility

  • Acupuncture causes the production of endogenous opioids, which inhibit biological stress responses, which can be a hindrance to women trying to conceive.

  • It assists in the release of certain neurotransmitters, which stimulate the secretion of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone, which regulates the menstrual cycle and ovulation.

  • Acupuncture stimulates blood flow to the uterus by inhibiting uterine central sympathetic nerve activity.

  • Acupuncture increases blood flow to the ovaries during the stimulation phase of IVF enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment provided by your fertility specialist

  • It also relaxes the uterus and decreases uterine spasm after embryo transfer.
