Fertility
Supportive and compassionate treatment options
Fertility
Fertility is a highly sensitive and complex issue, so just know that you have a supportive and compassionate treatment option here at SHINE. We know that fertility is such an emotive topic and often so difficult for couples to discuss. When you enter the doors of SHINE, we want to assure you that you will be fully supported in your journey.
SHINE Acupuncture can provide support for the following;
- Assisted Reproductive Techniques (IVF, IUI, ICSI): acupuncture increases the chances of embryo implantation and ongoing pregnancy. In cases of Assisted Reproduction Techniques, not only does Acupuncture provide a support system to the ART, but it is proven to make patients more calm and therefore receptive to treatment.
- Hormone Imbalance: acupuncture is proven to help balance both FSH and LH fertility hormones in females, increasing chances of conception.
- Sperm quality: can be greatly improved through acupuncture and lifestyle changes. Results are optimal when both members of the partnership receive treatment. Sub-fertility can be addressed in both parties by increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs.
- PCOS & Endometriosis: although two very different conditions, acupuncture can address irregular and painful periods, reduce cysts, regulate the menstrual cycle and prepare the womb lining for optimal results. Coupled with nutritional and lifestyle advice, acupuncture can optimise the body for conception.
- Reproductive organs: acupuncture can increase blood flow to the ovaries, providing optimum opportunity for follicular development. Increased blood flow to the uterus will improve endometrial lining which enhances chances of implantation.
As acupuncture is an integrated medicine, it is important that couples adopt lifestyle and nutritional advice as part of the treatment plan.
This list is non-exhaustive, so if your condition is not mentioned above, please do not hesitate to contact SHINE to discuss your symptoms and treatment option.
