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. Acupuncture treatment can reduce these conditions and improve your fertility.

Chinese medicine has traditional methods of diagnosing your menstrual irregularities and infertility. Treatment can balance your hormones to support your fertility, even if the cause is unknown.

Your acupuncture treatment will be based on your menstrual cycle and previous medical test results.

FAQs about Acupuncture for Infertility

    Acupuncture treatment decreases stress and regulates your hormones, balancing oestrogen and progesterone and supporting your fertility.

    It takes approximately 100 days for an egg to mature, and during that time they need the right nutrients, hormones and blood supply to optimise egg quality.

    Acupuncture and herbs can improve circulation to the ovaries and improve nutrition to the developing oocytes, increasing egg quality and the chances of a viable embryo.

    Fallopian tubes need to be clear and mobile to support both the egg and embryo’s passage down the fallopian tube. Chinese herbs and acupuncture treatment alongside western medical treatment has been shown to give the best results in clearing fallopian tube dysfunction.

    A successful conception needs to implant in a healthy uterus; acupuncture increases blood flow to the reproductive organs, improves the thickness of the endometrium, so increasing the chances of embryo implantation.

    Acupuncture also promotes embryo implantation.
