Infertilify and IVF
Infertility, a condition characterized by the inability of a couple to achieve pregnancy after engaging in sexual intercourse for 12 months or longer, is progressively emerging as a prevalent issue in the United States.

In the West, the adoption of this therapy is becoming more prevalent, whether as a standalone option or in combination with assisted reproductive procedures like IVF and IUI, and with good justification. Acupuncture serves as a secure, holistic, and efficient method for addressing infertility, devoid of any adverse reactions. Besides the plentiful anecdotal evidence supporting the efficacy of acupuncture in aiding couples' conception, a recent comprehensive analysis of multiple rigorously conducted studies has determined that acupuncture may enhance the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) by 75%.

Through enhancing the functions of the reproductive organs and endocrine system, as well as rectifying any imbalances in these stages, acupuncture has the potential to establish a more optimal setting for conception and the achievement of a successful pregnancy. Environmental and constitutional factors can affect sperm quality in men, and research has shown that acupuncture effectively addresses and improves these factors.

Studies have found that acupuncture considerably enhances the effectiveness of IVF. When acupuncture is combined with IVF, acupuncture can improve outcomes by:
