Acupucture and fertility

TCM, Chinese medicine, acupuncture
Acupuncture

Studies appear to vote in favor of acupuncture as a complementary form of therapy in women who are having other treatments for fertility problem. One opinion on this positive relation of acupuncture and fertility in women is that acupuncture relieves the anxiety of women undergoing treatment for fertility. Also, acupuncture's success in bringing fertility is more pronounced if the woman is to undergo in vitro fertilization. In addition, the rate of miscarriages and ectopic (out of place) pregnancies has been found significantly lower for women who took acupuncture as treatment.
The causal relation between acupuncture and fertility has also been studied in case of the number of pregnancies that were reported in women whose cases were stamped as hopeless by medical doctors and who later caught at the acupuncture needles for final hope. However, these studies have been challenged by medical experts who showed by experiments that even without acupuncture such women could get pregnant by biofeedback i.e. changing their thought patterns to positively influence their internal systems. While the opinion of the medical community remains divided on the issue of acupuncture and fertility, doctors have no reservation in allowing their patients undergo acupuncture since it has been observed to be quite a safe procedure.
