In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a fertility procedure that fertilizes an egg with sperm in a laboratory dish. During IVF treatment, the ovaries are stimulated through the use of medication that is injected beneath the skin with a thin needle. Matured eggs from the ovaries are then collected and cleaned by the doctors before they can be fertilized by sperm in the lab. The successfully fertilized egg will then be prepared for implantation and placed in the uterus to achieve a healthy pregnancy.
Acupuncture treatment can be regarded as a complement to IVF treatment as it can stimulate blood flow and create harmony within the body. Moreover, acupuncture treatment can induce relaxation and improve the physical and emotional well-being of our patients. Acupuncture plays a major role in relieving stress and supporting IVF in various ways.
We hope to go through this stressful and intense procedure with you and make your IVF journey a pleasant one.
