Infertility treatment can be a long and arduous process for many couples. While infertility treatment offers hope, there is no understating the fact that with every unsuccessful attempt to spawn life, an extra strain of emotion can be placed on couples.

The cause of infertility can be the result of a number of factors yet the one common denominator amongst men and women affected, is that infertility can result in a rollercoaster ride of emotion.

In the US alone, the cause of female infertility can be attributed to several internal factors yet those that have had the cause isolated and treated can in most cases count themselves fortunate. It’s the 10 per cent who cannot be given any known reason for their infertility that find it hard to come to terms with it. It can rip right at their heart strings and totally disrupt their dreams of raising a family and the resultant effect cannot be underestimated.

Male Infertility

For men, male infertility can be just as emotional in some instances and again, there are a number of varying circumstances which affect a man’s sperm level. The main two reasons are medically known as  azoospermia and oligospermia. These relate to no sperm cells and very few sperm cells being produced.

Herbs For Infertility

When all avenues are exhausted, people turn to mother nature to perhaps provide some answers. Herbs for infertility is still met with skepticism however, despite the fact it’s looked at in last resort terms, it has actually been around a lot longer than most people think. Our Asian friends have been utilizing the powerful benefits of herbs for centuries.

Infertility is a tough social issue to come to terms with. Family oriented couples facing infertility problems shouldn’t give up hope in most instances. Sometimes, it’s a hiccup along the way to parental bliss and there are a multitude of wonderful stories over the years of couples who have gone from infertility despair to parental joy.

Infertility acupuncture again, is one of those alternative methods struggling couples eventually turn to after exhausting most other traditional medical means.

Infertility acupuncture specialists are sprouting up across the United States – and contrary to popular belief – are not necessarily of an Asian ethnicity. Infertility acupuncture practitioners use this ancient Chinese medicine treatment that involves inserting fine metallic needles into specific pressure points in the body. These needles are regulated by the FDA and are used to stimulate the body to achieve mental and physical balance.

Infertility acupuncture usually does not hurt. Patients often just feel a slight twinge. The benefits reported have been tremendous – some of which are helping to regulate ovulation or menstrual cycles and improve sperm mobility and motility.

Who Benefits From Infertility Acupuncture?

Infertility acupuncture is also recommended for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) because it has proven to get better quantity and quality of eggs in women struggling with infertility. Performing the acupuncture immediately before and after the egg transfer has resulted in higher pregnancy rates primarily because infertility acupuncture causes the uterus to relax. Otherwise, contractions in the uterus could expel the egg.

Western researchers used to be wary of this traditional practice but now even the National Institutes of Health have found some evidence of the benefits of infertility acupuncture.

Are There Any Disadvantages?

As with anything there are disadvantages. Infertility acupuncture is usually recommended for functional problems such as irregular ovulation as compared to tube blockage which is more of a structural problem.

Infertility acupuncture is not a one time procedure and usually takes several sessions with a specialist over a period of several weeks. Many infertility acupuncture practitioners also recommend Chinese herbs and supplements to be taken while undergoing this treatment.

Several research studies have shown that infertility acupuncture works best when used in conjunction with Western medicine. It need not be a stand-alone treatment. However, patients need to facilitate good communication between both doctors to see if there could be a possible reaction between medications. Always make sure that the acupuncturist is licensed to practice in your state.

The debate, although dying down, still goes on about why infertility acupuncture would work. As with most Chinese therapy, regulation of the body’s system is key to the whole treatment process and acupuncture is no different. Aiding blood flow to the reproductive organs and at the same time stabilizing hormone levels are one of the functioning results of acupuncture. Increasing ovarian function in women and boosting the sperm count in men also result.
