October 9, 2009
Acupuncture is popular among Asians, especially among the Chinese. It might get along well with other scientific methods. Although it is not a perfect science, some people attest to the effectiveness of this practice. This has been practiced for so long as an alternative to medicines in the east since time immemorial. I mean acupuncture, but how about acupuncture and infertility?
There were testimonies about how acupuncture relieved PMS (Pre menstrual Syndrome), if it can ease pains in PMS and labor pains, then it may have effects on what is in the inside of the womb.
Though acupuncture has been practiced as a therapy among the East Asians, it should be practiced with proper care. You should choose an acupuncturist like how you choose a doctor. Or you may tell your doctor that you are considering acupuncture as an alternative treatment. Combined with the medicines he prescribed.
Maybe you can combine it with fertility diet practice and lifestyle change. It is believed to be one among the infertility solutions. It is most observed that women who are obese seem to get a hard time getting pregnant. Also men who are heavier produce little semen. So, for a couple to conceive, they should attain the ideal body weight. Avoid also caffeine and alcohol as they are known as liquid contraceptives according to nutritionists. Also avoid sweeteners because they can prevent ovulation. Come to think of it; maybe our diet and our lifestyle is the culprit of our infertility. You may visit your nutritionist first before you visit your Ob Gyn.
Now go! Look for a Nutritionist, hunt for a good acupuncturist, and visit your Ob Gyn.
These three, combined, might give you a better chance of having your own child a couple of years later. Plus give yourself time to relax. Don’t ever get pressured for the idea that you race against time. The more you are conscious with time, the more pressured you get. Just take your time.
There are many causes of infertility that are rather stressful for both couple. It is very important that each partner does his or her share of identifying the early signs of infertility in order to have an early intervention as well.
