How many practitioners here are involving fertility treatment? 1996. Met a patient with lupus. Fertility enhancement program is not only a treatment but changes people’s life.
Let’s talk about female first. Before we begin our program, let’s review of some hormones involves in the menstrual cycle. FSH, LH secreted by posterior pituitary gland. Estrogen and progesterone produced by ovary.
Simple and easiest way to monitor the hormone levels. Patients measure their temperature in the morning just wake up. Catch the ovulation time Predict the progesterone release The mean difference before ovulation and after should be more than 0.5
We are working with 6 organization of fertility specialists. The two phases of treatment not only speed of the conceive process but also increased IVF procedure significantly.
Following the patient’s fertility treatment plan and well communicate with the fertility specialist to have parallel treatment. Focus the weakness and schedules. Hormonal balance during the ART treatment is most important.

Egg and Sperm become less healthy and poor quality as we age. Thus, women have a diminished ability to conceive. Experience has shown that if the hormonal system is in perfect working order and a woman has clockwork menstrual cycles,, a healthy egg can be released on time. It then has a good chance of becoming fertilized, implanting and making it through embryologic development to become a child.
Male: Female:
The effects of acupuncture tend to be cumulative. Most effective when given in a series. A course of 10-12 is frequently recommend in order to begin to effect cellular change. Please do educate your patient understand the their personalized treatment plan from day one. And continue to support and communication during the course. Pre phase : 1-2 tx/wk X 4 wks/cycle Minimum 3 cycles to regulating and balancing hormones Trial phase : Pre-ovulation: 3tx/wk X 2 wks Post ovulation: 2tx/wk X 2 wks Post conceive: 2 tx /wk X 8 wks 1 tx/wk X 4 wks
The hypothalamic-anterior pituitary-ovarian axis function Acupuncture releases endorphins that mitigate one’s response to stressful stimuli, thus enhancing the possibility of conception. Since the hypothalamus regulates both stress Reponses as well as the sex hormones. It’s easy to see how stress could cause infertility in some women. Excessive stress may even lead to complete suppression of menstrual cycle. This is often seen in female marathon runners, who develop runners amenorrhea. In less severe cases, it could cause an ovulation or irregular menstrual cycles. When activated by stress, the pituitary gland also produces increased amounts of prolactin. Elevated prolactin could cause irregular ovulation. Female reproductive tract contains stress-hormone receptors, stress can affect fertility. However more complex mechanisms may be at play. Research still do not know how stress interacts with the reproductive system.
GIFT-gamete intrafallopian transfer ZIFT-zygote intrafallopian transfer in vitro fertilization . ET- Embryo transfer Like IVF, these procedures involve retrieving an egg from the woman and re-implanting it, but in GIFT and ZIFT the process goes more quickly. While in traditional IVF the embryos are observed and raised in a laboratory for 3 to 5 days, in ZIFT, the fertilized eggs -- at this stage called zygotes -- are placed in the fallopian tubes within 24 hours. In GIFT, the sperm and eggs are just mixed together before being inserted and, with luck, one of the eggs will become fertilized inside the fallopian tubes.
Stress and the brain play an important role in fertility, because stress can prevent a woman from ovulating entirely, When women under extreme stress often stop menstruation and Lack of stress often promote fertility. That is why couples often conceive while on a cruise or other relaxing holidays.
21 of 80 patients became pregnant in IVF group Success rate= 26.3% 34 of 80 patients became pregnant in the IVF plus acupuncture group, Success rate= 42.5 %. Acupuncture reduces the uterine contractions that typically occur with embryo transfer and may inhibit implantation.

Dang Gui- effect on uterus: to Have a contractile effect when given intravenously to anesthetized dogs and rabbits. Does cause contraction in situ uteri and relaxation in uterus specimens. Use some studies by direct measurement of myometrium, administration of angelicae enabled the contractions of the uterus to be more orderly. This explained may be is the mechanism to treat dysmenorrheal. There is no estrogen effect.

Testes are approximally 4 cm long and 2.5 cm wide connective tissue capsule Tunica albuginea, the white coat surrounds each testis Extension of the this capsule, septa ;ige nto the testis and divide it into a large number of the lobules. Each lobules contains one to four tightly coild seminiferous tubules where is the site to produces sperm Each lobe of seminiferous tubules empties sperm into rete testis to the first part of ducts Epididymis hugs the external surface of the testis/ Lying in the soft connective tissue surrounding the seminiferous tubules are the interstitial cells-produces androgens, most importantly testosterone.
Body temperature 37.C , Testes= 32 C.
Spermatogenesis is the process by which male develop into mature are the mature male in many sexually reproducing organisms. Thus, spermatogenesis is the male version of gametogenesis . In mammals it occurs in the male testes and epididymis in a stepwise fashion, and for humans takes approximately 64 days. [1] Spermatogenesis is highly dependent upon optimal conditions for the process to occur correctly, and is essential for sexual reproduction . It starts at puberty and usually continues uninterrupted until death, although a slight decrease can be discerned in the quantity of produced sperm with increase in age. The entire process can be broken up into several distinct stages, each corresponding to a particular type of cell:
1. Azoospermia- absence of sperm 2. Oligiospermia-lowered sperm density
Sperm analysis should repeat 2 times if normal and three times if abnormal.
Environment factors- Pesticides, exogenous estrogens, heavy metals may negatively impact spermatogenesis.
Acupuncture has documented in several studies as having a positive effect on sperm parameters. A muti-faceted approach to improving male fertility involves identifying harmful environmental and occupational risk factors while correcting underlying nutritional imbalances to encourage optimal sperm production and functions.
Case report: A 43 male with 3 months of combined treatment Sperm count from < 18 million/ml to 93 million Motility < 50 % to 97% Morphology: Normal <20% to 45 %
Acupuncture has been documented in several studies as having a positive effect on sperm parameter.

Studies confirm that male sperm counts are declining Environmental factors: pesticides, exogenous estrogens and heavy metals may negatively impact spermatogenesis.
