Acupuncture And Fertility:
Handling Infertility, Naturally

If you are dealing with infertility, than you may have heard conversations about acupuncture and fertility and the ways acupuncture therapy can help women conceive.

​

First off, what is infertility exactly? Doctors define infertility as when a woman is unable to get pregnant after a year or more of trying. It’s actually a rather common issue. Nearly 10% of women (6.1 million) in the United States ages 15-44 have difficulty becoming or staying pregnant, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Services For Fertility Acupuncture, NJ

Women who come to us for services for fertility acupuncture, NJ, are typically infertile due to problems with ovulation, which can reduce the number of available eggs to be fertilized. These ovulation problems are often caused by a hormonal imbalance called polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), or by primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), which occurs when ovaries stop working normally before the age of 40. 

​

Typically, doctors suggest treating infertility with drugs or surgery, both of which include potential health risks. This is where acupuncture steps in as a strong alternative that has been practiced for centuries as an effective treatment for infertility.
