How Acupuncture Helps Increase Fertility
For men and women, alike, our life experiences and choices, emotional state, stress, habits, and thought patterns affect hormonal balance and function, which can impact fertility. Among couples struggling to conceive, about one-third of cases are related to women’s fertility problems, another one-third are due to fertility problems in men, and the other third are caused by a mixture of male and female fertility challenges.
The good news is, a fertility acupuncture specialist can help both both men and women improve their fertility. This is because there is a clear link between acupuncture treatment for fertility and the brain hormones involved in conception [6]. Moreover, the circulatory, stress relieving, and detoxifying effects of acupuncture for fertility can improve sperm quality and ovary function as well as increase libido and make the uterus more hospitable for egg implantation.
Here at Vitality Wellness Clinic, Dr. Tsing focuses on achieving a healthy pregnancy by eliminating following health concerns: stress, anxiety, and depression, hormonal imbalances, and (for women, specifically) hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles, and endometriosis.

How Acupuncture Increases Women’s Fertility
About 12% of women have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term, and as many as one-third of those women experience secondary infertility (where they begin having trouble conceiving after a successful pregnancy). Working with a fertility acupuncture specialist can help restore fertility among women with both primary and secondary infertility, and also can boost the success rates of IVF treatments for some women.
Generally speaking, acupuncture for fertility tends to increase the fertility awareness and wellbeing, and also speed the conception time, of women who use it in combination with positive lifestyle changes (versus women who used lifestyle modification alone) [13]. More specifically, acupuncture can increase women’s fertility by:
Acupuncture Increases Fertility In Men
Modern, stressful lifestyles, as well as exposure to environmental toxins, have likely contributed to a well-documented increase in the number of men who experience fertility problems. Presently, at least 8% of men suffer from poor sperm quality, count, and/or mobility. What’s more, as many as one-third to one-half of men aged 20-50 experience erectile dysfunction, which may contribute to a couple’s troubles getting pregnant.
Fortunately, a qualified fertility acupuncture specialist can help decrease the symptoms of erectile dysfunction induced infertility and increase sperm motility and count. Moreover, some studies suggest that acupuncture for fertility, in combination with other lifestyle changes, may reduce the symptoms of varicocele, a common male fertility problem. This can also be true for men affected with sperm-DNA-fragmentation as, overall, acupuncture for fertility can greatly reduce the number of abnormalities in sperm.
*Though acupuncture for fertility is almost risk-free, some patients experience mild bleeding or bruising at the needle sites; patients what have clotting disorders or are taking blood thinning medication may have a greater risk of bleeding.
