How Acupuncture Can Improve Fertility and Boost Pregnancy Success
Infertility can be an incredibly challenging experience, especially when it involves conditions like a thin endometrium that make conception difficult. But at the Center for Integrative Care, we’re helping individuals and couples improve their chances of starting a family with biomedically-based acupuncture.
Watch our latest video to learn how combining acupuncture with standard drug therapy can significantly improve your chances of conception. A recent study from Xinjiang Medical University found that adding acupuncture to estradiol valerate therapy increased the clinical pregnancy rate to 33.3%, compared to just 20% with drug therapy alone.
Acupuncture works by improving uterine conditions, such as increasing endometrial thickness and enhancing blood flow. Better blood flow to the uterus, as measured by ultrasound parameters like the resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI), is crucial for creating an environment that supports embryo implantation. The study also noted a significant increase in type A endometrium—a type that is most receptive to implantation—in women who received acupuncture.
