Acupuncture & Fertility in Kingston WA

In the last ten years, western medicine has shown incredible advancement in fertility treatment in Kingston WA. In February 2016, the Cleveland Clinic performed the United States' first uterus transplant as part of a clinical trial for treating Uterine Factor Infertility (UFI). This advancement in fertility hasn't been limited to the United States. Many countries, like Sweden, have had success with novel fertility treatments. Not surprisingly, modern research studies have also been looking to acupuncture for guidance of fertility care.

So, what can Kingston WA Acupuncture do for fertility?

Many women and men seek help for fertility when they have trouble conceiving. Four causes of infertility that acupuncture can help are PCOS, Endometriosis, Egg Quality, and Male Infertility.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS, is a condition where the hormones, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone, are out of balance. This imbalance results in growths, or cysts, on the ovaries, as well as weight gain, facial hair, and painful menstrual cycles. This can cause issues with fertility as it can off-set the women's natural menstrual cycle with ovulation becoming irregular. For PCOS patients, acupuncture can help restore blood flow to the reproductive organs and help with pain management, weight issues, and hormone regulation.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a disease where the endometrial tissue that normally grows on the inside of the uterus grows on the outside of the uterus. The main symptoms of endometriosis can be extreme pelvic pain and infertility. Western medicine's approach to endometriosis is merely to cover up the symptoms of pain rather than treat the underlying hormonal imbalance and heightened inflammatory response. Acupuncture can help with pain management while also guiding the body back to a regular menstrual cycle.

Egg Quality

Egg quality can be a huge issue with fertility. The older a woman gets, the quality of the eggs she produces decreases. Poor egg quality can be related to chromosomal abnormalities and increase with age. The only way to test egg quality is to talk to your doctor. Acupuncture can help with improving egg quality as acupuncture does bring blood to the surrounding organs such as the ovaries.

Male Infertility

Male infertility can also be a factor in fertility. It can be easily overlooked; however, studies have shown that male fertility is just as important as female fertility. Acupuncture can help male fertility by improving sperm motility, morphology, and sperm count.
