How Acupuncture Supports Fertility
Acupuncture has been shown in research and clinical practice to help:
- Regulate menstrual cycles and ovulation
- Improve egg quality and ovarian function
- Increase uterine blood flow and endometrial thickness
- Reduce stress and cortisol levels, which may interfere with conception
- Balance reproductive hormones such as FSH, LH, estrogen, and progesterone
- Support male fertility by improving sperm count and motility
- Reduce side effects of fertility medications
Acupuncture During IUI and IVF
Acupuncture is especially effective when integrated with assisted reproductive technologies:
Before and During IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
- Regulates the menstrual cycle leading up to the procedure
- Improves uterine lining to support implantation
- Reduces stress and improves pelvic circulation
- Supports follicle development in medicated cycles
Before and During IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
- Prepares the body for egg retrieval and embryo transfer
- Improves response to IVF stimulation medications
- Enhances uterine receptivity and embryo implantation
- Reduces cramping and inflammation after transfer
- Supports emotional well-being throughout the process
Many fertility clinics recommend acupuncture on the day of embryo transfer and during the two-week wait to help improve success rates.
Dr. Xiong’s Fertility-Focused Approach
Dr. Xiong customizes each treatment plan based on the phase of your cycle and any assisted reproductive treatments you may be undergoing. His approach may include:
- Tan Balance Method Acupuncture – a proven method for balancing reproductive meridians and improving pelvic circulation without needling directly into sensitive areas
- Korean Hand Therapy (KHT) – supporting hormonal and emotional regulation through gentle hand acupoints
- Herbal medicine and nutritional support – if appropriate and safe to use alongside your current medications
- Lifestyle guidance – stress management, sleep, and fertility-focused nutrition
Your care is always personalized, respectful, and informed by both traditional knowledge and modern research.
