Infertility problems treated with acupuncture
There are many causes of infertility in both men and women. However, there are more reasons why a woman can develop infertility than men, as a woman's body and fertility is more complex than a man's.
The main infertility problems are:
- Amenorrhoea (no periods)
- Anovulation (not ovulating)
- Dysmenorrhoea (painful periods)
- Endometriosis (uterus lining residue)
- High FSH levels (higher than normal levels of follicle stimulating hormone)
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Low AMH levels (lower than normal levels of Antimullerian hormone)
- Male infertility
- Menorrhagia (very heavy periods)
- PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome - too many follicles on the ovaries)
- Premature ovarian insufficiency (a lack of good quality eggs)
- Reoccurring miscarriages
- Repeated IVF failures
- Unexplained infertility (biomedicine can't find the cause)
