Acupuncture for Infertility Bucks County, Montgomery County Pennsylvania

Acupuncture increases the chances of becoming pregnant for a significant number of women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) according to a study published in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility (April 2002).
Acupuncture can increase pregnancy rates for IVF patients by:

Increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, which dramatically improves a woman’s response to the hormonal therapy; by increasing blood flow to the uterus, the embryos have a better environment after transfer.
Regulating hormone levels by moderating the release of beta-endorphin levels in the brain, which improves the release of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone by the hypothalamus, the follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary gland, and the estrogen and progesterone levels from the ovaries.
Improving the function of the ovaries which allows the development better quality eggs and embryos.
Moderating cyclooxygenase and prostaglandin levels in the uterus, reducing uterine motility to improve implantation rates.
Thickening the uterine lining if it is too thin.
Reducing stress and hyperactive sympathetic nervous system responses.
Lessening the side effects of the medications.
Improving semen quality and quantity.
