In‑vitro fertilization (IVF) has helped many couples achieve their dream of parenthood, yet it can be physically and emotionally demanding. Integrating acupuncture into your fertility journey may improve comfort and potentially enhance outcomes. At NY PAPA Acupuncture & Herbal Medicine in Hicksville, we provide individualized care for patients across Long Island, including Levittown and Plainview.
How Acupuncture Enhances Fertility
Research shows that acupuncture may improve fertility by balancing hormones, increasing blood flow to reproductive organs and reducing stress. Stimulating specific points on the body can influence the endocrine system, promoting healthier levels of estrogen, progesterone and other hormones that regulate ovulation and pregnancy. Acupuncture also boosts circulation to the uterus and ovaries, improving the thickness and receptivity of the uterine lining. Finally, sessions are known to release endorphins and calm the nervous system, helping reduce stress and anxiety.
Evidence for IVF Support
Some studies suggest that acupuncture performed before and after embryo transfer may increase pregnancy rates by improving uterine blood flow, relaxing uterine muscles and lowering stress. Acupuncture can also help mitigate side effects of IVF medications, such as bloating, nausea and headaches. While results vary for each individual, many fertility clinics now recommend acupuncture as a complementary therapy.
