Acupuncture has been shown to be an effective complementary therapy for infertility and in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, which can stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms and promote overall wellness.

Acupuncture for infertility and IVF is believed to work in several ways. First, it can help to reduce stress and anxiety, which can have a negative impact on fertility. Stress and anxiety can disrupt the hormonal balance in the body, making it more difficult to conceive. Acupuncture can help to calm the nervous system and reduce stress, which may improve fertility.

Second, acupuncture can improve blood flow to the reproductive organs, which can enhance fertility. The improved circulation can help to bring more oxygen and nutrients to the ovaries and uterus, which can improve their function and increase the chances of conception.

Third, acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle and improve hormonal balance. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture can help to regulate the production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This can improve the quality of the eggs and increase the chances of successful fertilization.

In IVF treatments, acupuncture can be used to improve the success rate of the procedure. Studies have shown that acupuncture can help to increase the blood flow to the uterus and improve the thickness of the uterine lining. This can create a more receptive environment for the embryo to implant and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.
