Acupuncture 'helps IVF women to have babies'Andy Dolan

TIMESONLINE
Course of acupuncture may raise success of IVF treatment by 65%
Preparation for IVF can begin several months prior to start of treatment, but even 1 month before commencement of treatment can make a difference to the fertilisation and can improve implantation success.
After a TCM diagnosis is made, the next step is to try to improve and regulate the menstrual cycle if necessary (eg reduce pain, pms signs or regulate length) and then attempt to nourish the uterus and make the eggs, endometrium and cervical mucus better and stronger.
Then as the IVF approaches, the Uterus and Ovaries are nourished in order that more good quality follicles can be extracted.
During IVF if possible, a visit prior to embryo transfer and as soon as possible after is recommended.
Treatment prior to transfer is to try to invigorate blood flow in the local area in order to make the body more receptive to the embryo.
Treatment after the transfer,is to try to stabilise the hormone levels and therefore keep the embryo safe.
This also calms and relaxes the uterus so that it does not reject the egg.

Acupuncture and success of IVF

Conception means the union of the sperm and the ovum.
It depends on the couple’s overall health.
Stress, depression, endocrine hormones, the uterus condition and the body’s primary metabolism may all impact conception.
For instance, if the female’s blood is deficient, the egg may not be healthy enough to be fertilized , much less to develop into a viable embryo.
If the uterus has thin lining, fibroids, cysts or low temperature, etc. then the embryo is unable to be implanted.
Therefore, stress, anxiety, negative emotions, etc. can be the result of an imbalance in the body, which can lead to infertility or miscarriage.
Pregnancy cannot be achieved unless the whole body of the couple is functioning normally.

How to improve chances of Fertility
Research shows that Chinese Medicine has positive effects on fertility. Acupuncture has been proven to improve the ovarian response and uterine receptivity.

The combined use of acupuncture and herbal medicine helps harmonize the secretion of hormones as a result of the stimulation of the hypothalamus and enhance the patient’s reproductive potential by normalizing the endocrine system and improving the ovarian function so that quality eggs are produced.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can nourish the uterus lining, making it healthier and improve the condition of the uterus, making it receptive, so that the embryo can grow. They can also help relax the muscles of the uterus so that uterus contraction is prevented and the implanted embryo is not damaged.

Chinese medicine helps improve the body’s circulation and remove blockages or stagnation of qi, thus assuring that the fallopian tubes are unblocked and the abnormalities in the uterus, such as fibroids or cysts, are addressed so as to make the uterus receptive.

Chinese medicine helps reduce stress and anxiety which have an adverse impact on fertility.

Chinese medicine offsets the side effects of drugs used in IVF. IVF has only an approximately 30% success rate. However, its success rate can be greatly increased with the help of Chinese medicine.
