Infertility has hindered the
aspirations of many couples to have a family, but this situation may be
addressed by modern solutions like In vitro fertilization (IVF). Besides
advanced marrying age, other notable causes of difficulties in conceiving
include damaged Fallopian tubes in women, and insufficient sperm counts in men.
The IVF procedure still
involves the joining of the egg and sperm cells, but it takes place outside of
the body (in vitro), specifically on a laboratory dish. This modern method has a
33-43% chance of success for women under the age of 38, and a 13-27% chance for
women 38 years old and above. Many patients consider IVF as a last resort
because of the costs involved.
To improve the chances of
success for an IVF, a number of practitioners have adopted the age-old
traditional treatment of acupuncture as part of the process. This ancient
technique involves the placing of tiny needles on strategic parts of the body
to regulate the overall balance of the human mind and body. By improving the
efficiency of the body, acupuncture also helps improve the efficacy of other
treatments, such as IVF. This is supported by studies that show a substantial
increase in the success rates of IVF procedures done with the support of
acupuncture.
