Utilizing acupuncture for fertility benefits may be beneficial to patients suffering from infertility or with fertility complications.
Acupuncture is a Chinese medical technique that sticks thin needles into various points on the body.
When these needles are stimulated, pathways are opened that may affect the way the body operates.
Practitioners may treat a variety of fertility conditions or diseases, or use the treatment in conjunction with herbs or western medical treatments.
The American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine (ABORM) trains and certifies individuals to perform this therapy to treat infertility.
While the training for this certification involves a familiarity with acupuncture and herbal medicine treatments, about half of the exam required to become certified also requires an understanding of western medicine.
Patients who would like to know more about the training and certification for practitioners of acupuncture for fertility treatment should speak to a trained professional directly or consult the ABORM for more information.
Acupuncture may be an effective treatment for patients suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, low sperm count, poor egg quality and low ovarian reserve.
Patients with an increased maternal age, those with sperm DNA fragmentation and who experience recurrent miscarriages may also be candidates for this treatment.
Those suffering from immunological causes of infertility, implantation failures, patients undergoing in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproductive technology treatments and those with unexplained infertility problems may also be candidates for acupuncture.
Acupuncture is based on the belief that the body's life energy, called Qi, flows through the body, protecting it from illness, pain and diseases.
The belief states that stress, trauma, poor diet and a lack of exercise may block or interrupt the energy, which may lead to infertility among other things.
The needles are placed into the body at different depths and locations to release the energy.
Practitioners believe that by releasing positive energy, negative energy is pushed out of the body.
The patient must lie still while treatment is being administered and the needles are stimulated.
Each session may last 20 to 30 minutes.
When used with other fertility treatments, acupuncture may be successful in helping women relieve stress and increase blood flow to the uterus, which may lead to positive results for those suffering from fertility issues.
This therapy may also reduce the side effects of fertility drugs and may help to strengthen the immune system.
Patients who would like more information should consult a practitioner of this therapy.
