Acupuncture regulates and rebalances the reproductive system of women and men. It helps promote healthy ovulation and sperm count, as well as supporting positive pregnancy and birth outcomes. Acupuncture works well in conjunction with other medical treatments, and is considered very safe. Fertility is affected by stress, because cortisol disrupts the body’s neurochemical balance. There is a complex interplay of glands that regulate fertility, and it is easy to throw off their regulation. Acupuncture is especially effective at countering the effects of stress in the body, including at the biochemical level, and so is able to help neutralize the effects of stress on fertility and pregnancy. Acupuncture helps regulate hormone levels in general, both reducing stress interference and promoting healthy hormone function. This supports healthy sperm counts and motility in men, and ovulation and implantation in women. Acupuncture also helps correct thyroid imbalances, which can affect the reproductive system. During pregnancy, acupuncture is able to support the body as it goes through the dramatic changes of gestation. Pregnancy affects most bodily systems, including hormones, organ function, stress levels, sleep quality, and digestion. Acupuncture is able to help rebalance these changes when they cause dysfunction or distress, allowing the body to continue the pregnancy with more ease and comfort. Acupuncture is an effective way to support fertility and pregnancy health. It helps bring balance the biological and emotional systems of reproductive health, improving outcomes and overall wellbeing.
