Infertility can be a very stressful, frustrating and emotional problem for many couples. In recent years though the research has caught up with what the chinese have been doing for years, using acupuncture and herbal medicine for infertility!  Acupuncture and chinese herbs can help with infertilty. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can

• balance hormones
• Increase blood flow to uterus
• Increase uterine lining 
• lower stress hormones
• Improve function of ovaries and quality of eggs
• help prevent miscarriage
• Increase conception rates
• Increase sperm count, morphology, motility, etc
• Improve over all feelings of well being

Because acupuncture works locally and also on the whole body, Acupuncture can be used to treat any type of fertility disorder including spasmed tubes. (Spasmed tubes are often de-spasmed with acupuncture, though blocked tubes will not respond to acupuncture). Acupuncture is often combined with herbs to treat elevated follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), repeated pregnancy loss, unexplained (idiopathic) infertility, luteal phase defect, hyperprolactinemia (when not caused by a prolactinoma), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with annovulatory cycles, and male factor including men affected with sperm-DNA-fragmentation, low sperm count, motility, morphology issues.
