FERTILITY SERVICES
Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is rapidly gaining acceptance in the West as a valid, evidence-based aid for fertility. This is a result of the pioneering work of TCM clinics such as ours over the past 25 years and of the significant amount of research that supports its value.
It is believed that TCM treatment using Chinese herbs and acupuncture works in the following ways:
Increases blood flow to uterus and ovaries, this can:
- - improve ovarian function and so improve follicular development and egg quality
- - improve the quality & thickness of the endometrium
- - increase the success rates of IVF
- - reduce the incidence of cystic ovaries
Stimulate egg transport in the fallopian tubes
- - reducing risk of ectopic pregnancy
- - help clear thickened mucus and mild obstruction
It may also help by:
- - relaxing the uterus and prevent contraction
- - reducing patient stress
- - improve tone of female hormone cycle
- - strengthening the immune system
