Acupuncture for Reproductive Health helps:

• balance hormones and regulates periods
• eliminates period pain and PMS
• low sperm counts and/or low sperm motility
• promotes a healthy pregnancy

Acupuncture can be considered as successful treatment in promoting fertility, by improving sperm quality, improving ovary function, and balancing the endocrine system and hormones.¹

Things your Acupuncturist will ask.

Your Acupuncturist will start by taking a detailed health intake. They’ll want to fully understand your unique symptoms picture as well as your lifestyle habits or any other interventions you’ve explored in supporting your fertility.

They may ask:

• How frequent is your period? Does it follow a 25-30 cycle? Is it consistent?
• How many days does your period last?
• Is the blood dark, bright or pale? Are there any clots?
• Have you received any medical diagnosis that affects your fertility?
• Do you know when / if you are ovulating?
• How long have you been trying to conceive?
• Do you have a history of miscarriages?

It is also beneficial for your Acupuncturist to understand your overall health picture. Do you tend to run hot or cold? Are you always thirsty? Do you wake every night at the same time? These are all important qualities when using a Traditional Chinese Medicine approach.
