How Can Acupuncture and Hypnotherapy Help with IUI and IVF therapy?
Acupuncture can be very effective toward supporting a woman’s body and improving the success rate of Western fertility treatments. For example, recent studies in both Germany and Denmark have demonstrated that when acupuncture treatments are administered on the same day, both before and after IVF embryo transfer, the pregnancy rate almost doubled that achieved by patients who did not receive acupuncture treatments. The number of drugs and procedures a woman is required to undergo during ART in order to manipulate her menstrual cycle to produce multiple eggs can put a lot of stress on both her body and emotional state of mind. For example, women are warned by their fertility specialists that they may experience side effects such as emotional volatility, fatigue, abdominal bloating and headaches when they are given FSH preparations. Acupuncture can support the body during ART and hypnotherapy can significantly reduce the stress, emotional volatility and associated, physical side effects.
