Zen CandlesMany couples turn to acupuncture for help with fertility issues, whether to improve their natural fertility, because they are having difficulties conceiving or are preparing for  IVF treatment.

For those experiencing problems with conception, especially where standard medical investigation
can find no reason for this, acupuncture is often a remarkably effective treatment. And when IVF is being persued, a recent research study has shown that women having acupuncture treatment have a success rate of one in three as opposed to one in five for women having IVF alone.

Western scientific reaseach has established that acupunctre can :-

*Regulate the menstrual cycle
*Counteract the effects of polycystic ovaries
*Reduce high FSH levels
*Ease the syptoms of endometriosis and aid successful conception
*Invigorate sperm, enhancing both sperm count and motility
*Balance the endocrine system, regulate hormones and improve egg quality
*Increase blood flow to the uterus, improve endometrial lining and thus implantation
*Improve blood flow to the ovaries thereby improving ovarian response
*Reduce the risk of miscarriage

Fertility issues associated with hormonal problems, immune disorders, menstrual irregularity and age related factors - what is known as 'funtional infertility' - make excellent candidates for acupuncture treatment.
