How Can Dr. Lee's Acupuncture Treatment Help in Treating Infertility:

Fertility is a normal physiological function of our body. But, according to the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the normal physiological function of our body can occur only under one condition. That condition is that the energy in all meridians of the body is in perfect balance and harmony. When balance and harmony exist in a marriage, the marriage will last until the couple's hair turns gray. When normal physiological balance and harmony exists in each side of the couple, then pregnancy can result and last to full term.

With the advances in vitro fertilization (IVF), many causes of infertility can be solved such as anovulation, tubule obstruction, or lack of sperm penetration. But, a successful pregnancy requires a successful production of multiple mature high quality eggs and implantation of the fertilized egg. A successful implantation requires a receptive, supportive and friendly the uterine environment. Both of these require the body to maintain a continuous maximum blood flow to the ovaries and uterus to deliver the necessary nutrients and (natural and injected) hormones and to remove toxins and reduce over-active immune cells. That is where acupuncture and herbs come in.

An imperfect balance or disharmony of physiological function can result in a poor follicular response to the stimulating hormones and in non-receptive and non-supportive endometrium, and lead to infertility difficulties such as fewer eggs, poor egg quality, thin linings, poor implantation, excessive macrophages, high concentration of NK cells attacking the embryos as in endometriosis and habitual miscarriages. With his knowledge and experience in treating infertility using acupuncture and Chinese herbs, Dr. Lee can help to detect and rectify such imbalance and maximizing the flow of blood which carries the stimulating hormones to the ovaries and uterus and removing the toxins in the uterus thus providing a more embryo-friendly environment for fertility success either on your own, or with IUI (intrauterine insemination also known as artificial insemination), or with IVF. You will also find out from Dr. Lee the "Dos" and "Don'ts" on optimizing and preserving the right balance for fertility.
