Chinese Medicine for Fertility Enhancement
For thousands of years, Chinese Medicine has been successful at enhancing fertility and allowing for healthy pregnancies and births. Surprisingly, many people are unaware of this fact and do not know there is this option for them to enhance their fertility.
Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Therapy has been proven to:
- Regulate the menstrual cycle
- Increase blood flow to the uterus
- Regulate hormones
- Promote healthy ovulation
- Help thicken the lining of the uterus
- Relax the uterus
- Reduce stress
- Strengthen the immune system
- Support a healthy pregnancy and prevent miscarriages
- Treat the side effects associated with western pharmaceutical use
- Improve the quality and quantity of sperm
Research
More and more research studies are concluding the positive effects of acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for fertility. A December 2002 study at Weill Medical College of Cornell University on the role of acupuncture in the treatment of female infertility stated, "There is sufficient evidence of acupuncture's value to expand its use into conventional medicine and treatment of female infertility." According to Psychology Today, "as many as three quarters of people undergoing western treatments for infertility use some form of alternative therapy as well." In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations endorsed acupuncture treatment for a wide range of conditions, including reproductive problems like infertility, impotence, PMS, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and many more.
When do I incorporate Chinese Medicine if I want to have children?
At Satori, we treat each person as an individual. Although there are some common reasons why fertility may not be optimal in our patient population, we take the time to treat each person holistically. We look at each facet of our patient's life in relationship to their reproductive system. Whether you are a young women in relatively good health and want to conceive naturally or have been diagnosed with infertility and will be using assisted reproductive technology (ART), treatment will help increase your chances of conceiving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy
If you want to conceive naturally, treatment at each phase of the menstrual cycle will help to increase the chances of successful conception. Regular treatments will create a cumulative effect in preparing your uterus for a healthy pregnancy. Chinese Herbs and nutritional counseling may be utilized to help you be in your best health overall as you begin the journey to motherhood. Once pregnant, some of the side effects of the hormonal changes that may be experienced including morning sickness and fatigue, are minimized. In addition, the risks of miscarriage and premature birth are significantly decreased as a result on-going treatment.
If you have been diagnosed with infertility and are using western pharmacology or ART, treatment can increase your odds of success. Patients also report that the side effects of hormone therapy are lessened. We understand that undergoing fertility treatment can be both physically and emotionally challenging. Regular treatment can help to ease the stress of the journey on every level and improve the outcome.
