Acupuncture for Women and Men's Health, Fertility, Pregnancy & Post partum care
Acupuncture, Oriental and natural medicines can be an essential part of a woman's wellness. These techniques are especially helpful in assisting women and men's reproductive health, natural fertility, pregnancy and post childbirth care. Extensive studies have proven that acupuncture improves success rates of assisted reproductive technology, (ART), procedures like intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization. ART clinics in the Seattle area are starting to staff acupuncturists to treat IUI and IVF clients on the day of insemination or transfer. But Acupuncture, Chinese and natural medicine is most helpful for fertility when also taken for a period of time before the procedure, ideally for 3 months.
In addition to infertility and pregnancy, Acupuncture, Oriental and natural medicines are known to be particularly helpful for women's health issues, from menarche to menopause. These include dysmenorrhea/painful menses and endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome or PMDD, irregular menstrual cycles, fibroids and cysts, heavy bleeding, mittelschmerz or mid cycle ovulatory pain, polycystic ovarian syndrome or PCOS, perimenopause and menopause. One or more of these issues is usually involved in infertility.
Acupuncture is a very safe and effective treatment technique for pregnancy discomfort and mild complications such as nausea, anxiety, abdominal and pelvic, hip, back, leg or foot pain and headaches. Additionally, acupuncture is also very safe and effective during the tender post partum time for many conditions, including breast feeding issues, fatigue, pain, insomnia, anxiety and post partum depression.
