Fertility

Enhance your fertility treatment by incorporating acupuncture in Frisco, Texas. Acupuncture has been shown to significantly improve the likelihood of a successful pregnancy when used in conjunction with infertility and IVF treatments.

How Can Acupuncture Help With Infertility?

Acupuncture has proven to be highly effective in alleviating stress, enhancing the quality of eggs and sperm, balancing hormones, and minimizing the risk of miscarriage. It can be viewed as an alternative method of addressing fertility issues by itself and is often utilized as a complementary therapy to conventional Western fertility treatments such as IVF and IUI.

Throughout the world, this ancient and natural approach is being increasingly utilized in the treatment of infertility and IVF. Over the course of two decades, Dr. Xie Yin has aided many Frisco patients experiencing infertility in successfully conceiving, and utilizing acupuncture alone or in conjunction with IUI and IVF.

Benefits Of Acupuncture For Fertility

Acupuncture is a promising treatment option for couples facing fertility challenges. By stimulating the body’s natural healing processes, acupuncture can enhance fertility and even increase the efficacy of other fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Research has shown that acupuncture has the potential to positively impact various factors that contribute to a healthy reproductive system, such as:

Improved Blood Flow & Egg Quality

Regulation Of Hormones & Menstrual Cycle

Reduced Stress And Anxiety Levels

Can Acupuncture For Fertility Help Me Get Pregnant?

Evidence suggests that acupuncture can improve fertility outcomes, whether used alone or in conjunction with other fertility treatments. Acupuncture helps in the following ways:

Acupuncture and Egg Quality Improvement

Before you begin an IVF procedure, you should use any means possible to improve the quality of your eggs rather than the number of eggs produced per cycle. Acupuncture maximizes the blood flow to the ovaries to ensure a constant and steady supply of hormones and nutrients for normal growth. Healthy blood flow can increase follicle and egg health and quantity. This is especially true for women with a poor prognosis either because of age or previously failed cycles.

Acupuncture and Sperm Quality Improvement

Dr. Yin knows how important fertility can be to a man’s self-worth. It still takes a man and a woman to make a baby. Most men are better at hiding their feelings if they can’t father a child. Almost all aspects of male infertility can benefit from Dr. Yin’s acupuncture treatments in Frisco. Sperm count, sperm motility, and sperm morphology and quality can be increased, and even hormonal factors can be resolved by restoring balance to the entire body.

To enhance in vitro fertilization’s chances of success, acupuncture performed 24 hours before and after the procedure is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. Acupuncture is the Chinese medical practice of having thin needles inserted into specific points along energy lines within your body, each point having a different effect. Although acupuncture is not a 100% guaranteed way of having implantation succeed, it does improve the IVF’s potential for success.

Acupuncture and Hormone Balance

Hormone balance plays a significant role during the conception process. Without a proper balance of various hormones (FSH, LH, progesterone, prolactin, etc.), women could experience no ovulation, poor egg quality, irregular menstrual cycle, and even miscarriage, possibly leading to infertility. Regular acupuncture treatment can be very effective in regulating hormonal imbalances. It influences the hormonal regulation centers in the brain and autonomic nervous system (i.e., the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis). As a result, improvement in hormonal status can occur.

Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine can help alleviate the most common conditions associated with infertility.

Elevated FSH levels, hormone imbalance, PMS, irregular menstruation, difficult implantation, recurring miscarriage, PCOS, endometriosis, immunological issues, aging eggs (if you are over 35 years old), and thyroid problems, have been associated with infertility and pregnancy loss. Western medicine focuses completely on individual parts of the body – a disease or an organ – and only treats the symptoms but not the underlying causes that might make a couple infertile. The same is true regarding modern reproductive medicine’s isolated treatment of infertility. Dr. Yin looks at the whole patient, seeking imbalances in the system rather than focusing on a particular disease. Our acupuncture treatments and Chinese herbal medicines in Frisco, TX, restore the body’s normal function, allowing the patient to conceive.

Acupuncture and Stress Relief

Rising stress levels can lower a woman’s fertility by disrupting her hormone balance and sometimes prevent ovulation completely. Such imbalance can lead to irregular or missed menstrual cycles and may cause the fallopian tubes and uterus to contract, inhibiting the egg’s movement into the uterus. When diagnosed with infertility, many patients feel helpless and no longer in control of their lives. When patients seek insemination or assisted reproductive treatment, it can be stressful, and some of the hormonal medications can cause mood swings, headaches, and fatigue, which further increase their stress levels.

Acupuncture is a holistic method that integrates the body and mind, balances emotional distress, increases relaxation, and helps women with hormonal dysfunction or unexplained infertility. However, 80% of women will restore fertility after lowering stress levels. Acupuncture alleviates stress by stimulating the central nervous system and increasing the production of endorphins and encephalins, which are naturally occurring chemicals in the body that improve a person’s mood and overall well-being. Acupuncture improves the circulation of blood throughout the body, which oxygenates the tissues and cycles out cortisol and other waste chemicals. The calming nature of acupuncture also decreases heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and relaxes the muscles.

Pricing & Procedure

Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin. People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel no or minimal pain as needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.

Pricing depends on the individual’s treatment plan & goals. Every patient is unique and will require different treatments, which will be determined during the consultation.
