Acupuncture for IUI

Acupuncture combined with IUI can increase your success of a healthy pregnancy. I recommend that treatments begin 3 months prior to the procedure. If this is not possible begin treatments as soon as you can. Fertility medications increase the number of follicles but they do not address the quality of the eggs that are released. Acupuncture optimizes the environment that the eggs grown in, thereby improving follicle count and quality. This can lead to higher conception and pregnancy rates, especially when combined with naturopathic medicine.

IUI’s are often recommended for low sperm count, low motility and leukocytospermia. Acupuncture can increase blood flow and balance the neuroendocrine system to improve sperm health.
