Combining Acupuncture & IVF Treatment for better results Author: Gayle There are many "alternative" treatments addressing fertility issues, which lead to the question "Does the combined treatments of acupuncture and IVF achieve more successful results?" Acupuncture through its history has been attributed in helping a variety of ailments, all the while having an overall healing effect on the body. Acupuncture is increasingly being used to help with infertility. Women wishing to fall pregnant but struggling to conceive are turning to acupuncture, alongside IVF or donor-egg transfer. The truth is that acupuncture although not generally used as a primary therapy for most fertility problems, is fast becoming a valuable support therapy for infertility. Acupuncture can also treat a number of fertility disorders. Recent studies show that acupuncture has a positive effect on the female reproduction system by increasing and regulating blood supply to both ovaries and uterus, and promoting regular ovulation. Combined with herbs acupuncture can treat elevated follicle stimulating hormones, repeated pregnancy loss, unexplained infertility, luteal phase defect, and male factor including men affected with sperm-DNA-fragmentation, among others. Studies conducted regarding the benefits of acupuncture combined with infertility treatments have shown mixed results.
