How Acupuncture Helps to Boost Fertility
The overwhelming anguish and anxiety experienced by couples struggling with infertility issues, drives them to seek different forms of treatment in order to increase chances of getting pregnant. From simple home remedies to fertility drugs to even surgery and in-vitro fertilization, there are myriad options for people struggling to have a child.
For those who do not want to go the IVF route, or who want to optimize IVF, many pursue alternative and holistic treatments such as Tai Chi, cupping, and acupuncture for fertility in San Francisco. Today, we present a few interesting facts on how acupuncture can help to boost fertility.
What Affects Fertility?
Doctors claim that there exists a delicate balance between the pituitary, hypothalamus, and reproductive glands, which, when disrupted can prevent the woman from ovulating properly. Stress also causes spasms in the fallopian tubes and uterus, which in turn can interfere with the movement as well as implantation of the fertilized egg.
An imbalance in the reproductive hormones can also adversely influence male reproductive functions such as sperm production and mobility. Stress, lack of sleep, hot tub use can all negatively impact men’s semen analysis.
How Acupuncture Treatments in San Francisco can Increase Fertility
Acupuncture involves the insertion of very fine needles into certain specific parts of the body. It creates a micro-trauma, which signals the brain to take a deeper look into that region, supply more blood flow, and decrease inflammation.
As one of the leading fertility treatment providers, Anchor Acupuncture & Wellness, offers acupuncture sessions that help in stimulating the production of endorphins, which leads to reduction in stress and increases blood flow. This in turn helps to improve organ function and promotes healing. Research has shown that acupuncture improves flow to the uterus and ovaries and thus, creates a better environment for the growth of good, high quality eggs.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, acupuncture can also help in cases when the thyroid is either under or over functioning which can lead to difficulty in conceiving. Spasmed tubes are also easily relaxed via acupuncture treatment in San Francisco, which increases the chances of conception.
If you have been trying to conceive and are looking for non-invasive procedures to help you conceive, try acupuncture treatments in San Francisco.
