My husband has a low sperm count and abnormal sperm. How
can
acupuncture help him?
Acupuncture can normalize sperm morphology (the actual appearance and regular
shape of the sperm) and increase sperm motility (how fast the sperm travel)
as
well as increase fertility.
I have blocked fallopian tubes (the tubes that are located between the
ovaries and the uterus and where the egg is fertilized by the sperm). How can
acupuncture with IVF help me?
IVF, depending on the clinic, is usually 40-50% successful. Acupuncture
done
in conjunction with IVF brings the success rate to approximately 62-72%
success rate, especially when there are approximately 8 treatments
before
the IVF transfer.
I have been infertile for over 5 years. Even though I have had western
medical
tests, they cannot explain the cause for myself or my husband. How can
acupuncture help me?
Sometimes, western medicine may not be able to find a particular cause
of
inferility for either partner. However, when one is properly diagnosed
by a
Traditional Chinese Practitioner, they loook at your 12 pulses and 30
pulse
qualities, and your tongue. This tells them what the root cause is of
your
infertility, and then it can be properly treated with acupuncture,
herbs, or
both.
