How does Acupuncture assist with fertility problems?
Acupuncture has been used for many centuries to improve overall well-being, and a healthier body has a greater chance of conceiving naturally. As well as improving general health, acupuncture can be used to treat specific conditions which affect fertility:
Emotional Disharmony.
Infertility can alter nearly every aspect of a person's life. Few situations in life are as challenging and overwhelming. The emotional aspects of infertility often go ignored and untreated, and because it is such a private issue, many couples do not share their experiences which can add to the problem.
Menstrual Disorders.
Amenorrhoea - no periods, Dysmenorrhoea- painful periods, irregular cycles, premenstrual syndrome, imbalanced follicular or luteal phases.
Threatened Miscarriage.
Miscarriage is very common. One in six pregnancies miscarry in the first trimester usually due to foetal abnormalities, after this uterine abnormalities or cervical incompetence are more common causes of miscarriage.
