Acupuncture and Chinese medicine work to treat problems such as: endometriosis, PCOS, low sperm count, poor sperm motility, and miscarriage. Any couple having difficulty getting pregnant, undergoing IVF or wanting their baby to be as healthy as possible should both be maximising their reproductive health. At Heidelberg Chinese Medicine we have had wonderful success in doing this, recognising that the diagnosed problem, if there is one, is only part of the picture and that reducing stress and increasing energy and general wellbeing are fundamental to a healthy pregnancy.
A healthy pregnancy and baby is the goal of our treatments. To achieve this we work to improve the quality of sperm and eggs being produced, this in turn improves the chance of conception, naturally or assisted. Often lifestyle or dietary factors are identified in the consultations which when fixed can have great benefits, for example: not drinking soft drinks can reduce PCOS and not using a laptop actually on your lap can improve sperm quality.
The pregnancy section covers what we can do for you after conception however the most important work for a healthy pregnancy is done before you conceive. Your health and wellbeing at the start of your pregnancy will have a huge effect on not just the health of your baby but also the degree of morning sickness suffered,(if any), back pain, gestational diabetes, tiredness and most importantly your ability to hold a pregnancy.
We also understand how emotional and stressful issues with fertility can be, the monthly disappointment, wondering when, if ever, you'll hold your child, seeing babies everywhere you look and often the pressure from friends, family and partners. This stress is often a major reason for difficulty conceiving in otherwise healthy people. For this reason almost every treatment you receive at Heidelberg Chinese Medicine will help you relax.
