Women's Health & Fertility

Chinese medicine is a highly effective and safe way to treat a wide range of women's health issues. One of the primary ways that acupuncture can help to increase fertility is by reducing stress. Stress affects the delicate balance between the hypothalamus, pituitary, and reproductive glands and can prevent a woman from ovulating entirely. Stress can also cause spasms in both the fallopian tubes and uterus which in turn can interfere with the implantation of a fertilized egg.

Hormonal imbalance can result in an ovulation disorder in which the release of a mature egg from the ovary is prevented. The application of Chinese herbs can help to restore this balance for women and men. While fertility drugs can help they also commonly have side effects such as abdominal tenderness, bloating, fluid retention, weight gain and nausea. Acupuncture fertility treatments by contrast produce few or no side effects stimulating the hypothalamus to balance the endocrine systems and its associated hormones.
