What Causes Infertility?

For pregnancy to occur, multiple steps must align perfectly:

• A woman’s ovaries must release a viable egg.

• The egg travels through the fallopian tube to the uterus.

• The male partner must produce viable sperm to fertilize the egg.

• The uterus must maintain a healthy environment for embryo development.

Infertility can occur when any of these steps are disrupted. While often thought of as a woman’s issue, infertility is equally likely to result from male factors or unknown causes.

How Acupuncture Can Help

Acupuncture works by directing the flow of energy, or qi, to specific areas of the body, including the reproductive organs. When used for fertility:

• Stimulates hormone production: This can support ovulation and improve the number of viable egg follicles.

• Enhances blood flow: Increased circulation to the reproductive organs creates a more favorable environment for conception.

• Supports reproductive health for men: Acupuncture can improve sperm quality and address male fertility concerns.

Research suggests that acupuncture can complement traditional fertility treatments, improving the chances of a successful pregnancy.

The Role of Stress in Fertility

Stress can have a significant impact on fertility, creating an environment that inhibits relaxation and intimacy. Acupuncture not only addresses physical aspects of infertility but also reduces stress by:

• Promoting endorphin release for relaxation.

• Supporting emotional balance during fertility treatments.

• Enhancing overall well-being for both partners.
