Acupuncture and IVF: A Helping Hand

It has been scientifically hypothesised that several of the mechanisms by which acupuncture may work could be due to:

  • Ap_IconExample Regulation of fertility hormones, FSH, oestrogen, and progesterone.
  • Ap_IconExample Supporting follicle receptor expression, egg production and modifying the quality of eggs.
  • Ap_IconExample Improving blood flow to the reproductive system affecting the endometrial lining, promoting implantation.
  • Ap_IconExample Enhancing luteal function

More research is required regarding mechanisms of acupuncture for subfertility. Click here for more information.
