Hello, There is evidence to suggest that acupuncture can help in the following ways . Acupuncture is believed to enhance blood circulation to the reproductive organs, including the ovaries, which can be beneficial for egg development. . Acupuncture may help regulate hormonal imbalances, which are a common cause of infertility and can affect egg quality. . Stress can negatively impact fertility, and acupuncture is known for its effects on neurotransmitters, potentially reducing stress levels. . Some studies suggest that acupuncture can improve ovarian reserve and reproductive outcomes, potentially by affecting the number and quality of eggs. Best wishes to you!

Hello ! Acupuncture can help with the number of mature eggs during retrieval for IVF. It also can improve the quality of the egg in theory because it increases blood flow, regulates hormones, and reduces stress. Because the eggs inside the ovarian follicles take time to develop, starting acupuncture early helps provide optimal egg development. Acupuncture should be started weekly, at least 4 cycles prior to the attempt to conceive for better outcome. Kathy Martin, MS.Ac. Beach Acupuncture
It is sometimes difficult for women to get pregnant due to many factors stress, hormone unbalances, poor diet and sometimes the partners sperm is insufficient... Acupuncture, herbal medicine and diet can help both partners to restore their bodies so they can get pregnant. Alexandre Hillairet, DAOM. Doctor of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. 2660 E.

Yes
this question is complex. Acupuncture can help with vitality and improve your fertility. The eggs we have in our bodies are the some ones we have from birth.
Yes!!!!
No, but it can increase your ability to get pregnant.
I do not know. I have done fertility treatments with great success though. My understanding of science is that eggs are created when a female is still a fetus and not generated in adulthood so theoretically it is impossible to improve quality of the eggs specifically.. yet i imagine it could improve the health of the ovaries and thus how those eggs are nourished/nurtured which could indirectly cause improvement... but that's my best guess.
Hello,

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can work well to improve the quality of egg health, sustaining a healthy pregnancy, and a healthy delivery.

Acupuncture is used for infertility. To regulate periods, to promote egg production, to improve sperm count, to help retain the embryo/fetus in the uterus, things like that.
Yes acupuncture and herbs could improve your quality of egg!
Yes, acupuncture makes your body function the best it can in all biological aspects.
Yes, it also improves sperm count and motility, as well as helping the uterus.
Yes, Acupuncture is extremely effective in working on fertility
Acupuncture can help improve egg quality- which can then help to increase the chances of pregnancy.
There are many studies that support the positive effects of acupuncture with egg quality. Clinically, we see many patients with reproductive health concerns. Often we suggest herbal medicine or micronutrient supplementation with acupuncture treatments for even more benefits.
Good afternoon,

Yes, it does.

Hello!

Acupuncture does improve egg quality by increasing blood flow and energy to the pelvis. Acupuncture also works to balance all the systems. This improves wellness and the likelihood of conception. In my practice, I work with my patients on diet and lifestyle also.

Be well,

Hi, thank you for your question. Many types of research show that acupuncture improves the rate of fertility by increasing blood flow to the uterus. Acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle, ovulation, hormone level, as well as help improve the quality of the eggs and sperm.
Hi! Sure! Egg quality would be one of the many factors regarding the fertility that would be improved with acupuncture, due to the increase in circulation and absorption of nutrients.
Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your question! Although there are no definitive medical studies on this, it is believed that Acupuncture may improve egg quality. Acupuncture also improves the chance for fertility by increasing blood flow to the uterus, regulating the menstrual cycle and ovulation, and balancing hormones levels.

I hope this helps!

Acupuncture can be done daily.

Yes.
Hello! Yes, acupuncture does improve egg quality. Usually with the combination of acupuncture and herbs.
Great question. I have not seen the research on egg quality, though have noted good research on fertility and flow with the lining.
It can, in theory. Though I haven't found any studies that fully support a direct link, it's suggested that by working through aspects such as regulating your cycle, ovulation, and hormone levels, increasing blood flow to the uterus and ovaries, and treating other conditions like endometriosis or early menopause, acupuncture would help improve the surrounding circumstances and therefore also improve egg quality. If it's age related, however (which shouldn't be a problem until around age 40), there unfortunately isn't much that can be done to reverse a natural deterioration process.
Acupuncture is helpful for infertility issues but it does not change the quality of eggs per se because your eggs because they were with you since birth. Sperm is constantly being developed and die off but eggs are already there and so not renew.
Acupuncture and Herbs, yes it does.

Be well, be confident, we can help.
Yes
Yes, it does.
Fertility is an area I don't really work in, so I had to go look up some information for you. It appears as though the answer is a tentative "yes". Here's a link to a site with some information specific to acupuncture, fertility and egg quality:

https://www.ccrmivf.com/news-events/acupuncture-fertility/

When it comes to fertility issues, there are two things which can be critical to achieving good results:

1. You need to see a provider who attended a school of Chinese medicine and is licensed in your state as an acupuncturist. Not everyone who offers "acupuncture" attended a Chinese medicine school - make sure you ask and make sure the person is licensed as an acupuncturist and not providing "acupuncture like" services under some other kind of practice license (like a chiropractor or a physical therapist).

2. You need to see a licensed acupuncturist who specializes in fertility issues. It's a common specialty and if you're in or near any kind of a large city, there should be at least one and possibly several licensed acupuncturists who only or primarily work with fertility patients.

If you need help finding a local provider and you're not in CA, you can use the "Find a Practitioner" look up at NCCAOM.org.
