Infertility can be a devastating blow to any healthy relationship. Most couples wanting to have children and facing the prospect of infertility undergo a fair amount of economic stress and emotional trauma in trying to conceive. Acupuncture is a great supplementary technique that can be used to cure infertility.
The important thing to remember here is that acupuncture is effective primarily in treating functional infertility and not structural infertility. Functional infertility implies that all the organs are in working order. It is due to a low sperm count or inability of the female's body to retain a healthy pregnancy. Structural infertility on the other hand implies that there is some injury to the organs like damaged fallopian tubes that would require surgical intervention.
Acupuncture is a good technique for couples suffering from functional infertility. It can be used to cure infertility in both--men and women.
Acupuncture has been found to improve the sperm quality in men. To be precise, acupuncture improves the integrity of the sperms. Immobile and deformed sperm and a low sperm count are common complaints of male patients suffering from infertility. Acupuncture can be used to drastically raise the percentage of sperms that have no intrinsic flaws.
In women, acupuncture is extremely effective in improving the overall health condition of the body. The woman's body needs to be in extremely fit working condition for a healthy pregnancy and birthing process. Acupuncture is the process where the acupuncturist inserts needles into various points on the body along the meridians through which Chi flows within the body. Stimulating the free flow of Chi encourages the healthy working of the body and decreases the rate of infertility in women.
