\nunsuccessful couples.<\/p>\n
Acupuncture by itself only shows a slight improvement of less than 1% of pregnancy outcomes, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. However, the odds of a successful pregnancy jump to 50% when acupuncture is used alongside other fertility treatments like in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI)..<\/p>\n
Most researchers agree the time to utilize acupuncture where it\u2019s most effective is to begin it three months before you start fertility treatments. However, some fertility doctors will also advise using acupuncture at the same time as you are going through treatments.<\/p>\n
Those who use acupuncture state that the body has energy channels that can become blocked and that causes a host of health issues. The small needles inserted into certain areas unblock these channels.<\/p>\n
Proponents say acupuncture can overcome problems like fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian egg issues, and sperm problems. It can also lessen some side effects that come with fertility drugs, like bloating. Most acupuncturists will advise that both the man and the woman get the treatment to maximize reproduction effectiveness.<\/p>\n
Acupuncture treatments have no outside risks when using them with a fertility doctor\u2019s advice. They promote relaxation and could help in the overall fertility experience. Studies aren\u2019t conclusive either way on how they help induce pregnancy but they can help relax you and that could have its own benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
