A landmark study published in the medical journal of Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture dramatically improves the chances of becoming pregnant when used in conjunction with other assisted reproductive techniques. |
|
Other studies found the following: |
|
|
|
|
increased blood flow to the uterus improves the chances of an ovum implanting on the |
|
uterine wall. |
|
Reducing anxiety, stress and the hormones that are secreted during stressful situations can |
|
significantly decrease fertility. |
|
Acupuncture regulates menstrual cycles leading to higher chances of pregnancies. |
|
Acupuncture shows a direct positive affect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, |
|
which plays a major role in fertility. |

There are many more research studies that have been conducted touting the effects of acupuncture on fertility. Please visit the American Board of Oriental Reproductive Medicine to learn more. |
