Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs have been shown to improve egg quality.

Improved egg quality leads to fewer chromosomal abnormalities and better pregnancy outcomes. Some studies have shown that poor endometrial receptivity could be responsible for up to as much as 60% of failed transfers.
Researchers also believe this to be true of natural pregnancies.

Acupuncture improves endometrial receptivity by improving the endometrial shape, promoting the microcirculation of the film inside the uterus, and promoting two-way regulation of progesterone and its receptor.

Additionally, Acupuncture during the luteal phase can more than double the continuous pregnancy rate. There are several commonly used formulas that are used for RPL. The formulas are modified according to the individual’s diagnosis. When Chinese herbal formulas were used in combination with pharmaceuticals the continuous pregnancy rate beyond 20 weeks went up as high as 92.1% in some research trials.

Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have shown promising effects in addressing recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) by supporting the body's natural balance and improving reproductive health. Acupuncture is thought to enhance blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulate hormonal levels, and reduce stress, all of which are critical during the luteal phase to support implantation and early pregnancy. When combined with a personalized approach to herbal formulas and pharmaceuticals, these holistic methods not only improve pregnancy outcomes but may also provide patients with a sense of empowerment and well-being throughout the fertility journey.
