Female fertility affected by menstrual cycle
A woman’s menstrual cycle is a complex balance of hormones. Many menstrual disorders can cause difficulties in conception, both natural and assisted.
These can include long or short cycles, causing problems with ovulation and implantation. You may have painful heavy periods, these can cause problems with implantation. Or you may suffer from endometriosis or PCOS.
These menstrual disorders will all affect your ability to become pregnant.
Chinese medicine has traditional methods of diagnosing your menstrual irregularities and infertility. Treatment may support your fertility, even if the cause is unknown.
Your acupuncture treatment will be based on your menstrual cycle and previous medical test results.
