Fertility problems

Vera has a special interest in fertility and pregnancy which has been influenced by her many years experience as a nurse and midwife.

Acupuncture is an effective method of treating many underlying gynaecological conditions in preparation for pregnancy. It helps in relieving stress and tension in addition to creating hormonal balance. Scientific research has been used to demonstrate that acupuncture improves the blood supply to the reproductive organs.

Since it has gained popularity in the West much research has been carried out on the effects of acupuncture on fertility and it has been shown to boost fertility rates for both male and female. Acupuncture has demonstrated an increase in the quantity, quality and motility of the spermatozoa and it revitalises the female reproductive channels. When used in conjunction with I.V.F. and other fertility programmes it has been proven to dramatically improve the success rate.
