Acupuncture for Fertility

Acupuncture has a well established and researched role to play in all aspects of fertility for men and women.

In preconception, it helps to prepare the body to be as healthy as possible. It can help regulate periods and minimise symptoms around your cycle. 

It is regularly used and recommended to work side by side with assisted fertility cycles as it can increase blood flow to the reproductive organs and balance the endocrine and hormonal systems. It can also minimise the undesired effects of the drugs used during an assisted fertility cycle.

During  pregnancy itself, it can be used for many common ailments such as morning sickness, backache and fatigue for those who would prefer not to take prescribed or over the counter medicines

As with all acupuncture treatments, it is important to understand that the treatment doesn't just concentrate on those parts of the body connected with fertility but rather the whole person.
