Acupuncture can have a positive effect fertility through various mechanisms. Here are some ways in which acupuncture may be thought to help with fertility:

Acupuncture is often associated with relaxation and stress reduction. High stress levels can negatively impact fertility by disrupting hormonal balance and interfering with ovulation. By promoting relaxation, acupuncture may help to reduce stress levels, which could potentially improve fertility.

Some studies suggest that acupuncture may help regulate the hormones involved in the menstrual cycle and fertility, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and estrogen. Balancing these hormones may improve ovulation and increase the chances of conception.

Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body. It is believed that these needles stimulate blood flow to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries and uterus. Improved blood flow may enhance the health of the reproductive organs and promote a favorable environment for conception.

Some individuals undergoing procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) may choose to complement these treatments with acupuncture. Research suggests that acupuncture may help improve the success rates of ART by promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and potentially enhancing the receptivity of the uterus to embryo implantation.
