Can acupuncture be combined with IVF or IUI?
Acupuncture is frequently combined with conventional fertility procedures such as IVF and IUI. Treatment can reduce the side effects from medications, relieve stress, increase blood flow to the uterus, improve ovary function, and enhance overall wellness. Studies have shown that using acupuncture and herbal medicine throughout the cycle can improve IVF success rates by as much as 60%. After the procedure, acupuncture can also be used to help prevent miscarriages.
