Stress—Stress
can interfere with both male and female infertility.
The physical response to stress is the development of
muscle tension and blood vessel constriction, as well as
endocrine system imbalances. In this tense state,
blood, nutrients and energy do not freely flow to
reproductive organs, and hormones may become out of
balance. Acupuncture and herbs can help reset the
nervous system so that the patient feels more relaxed,
and his or her body can return to a free and healthy
state. When health is restored, the reproductive system
will function at optimum potential. Treatment of stress
is an integral part of every fertility treatment because
the process of trying to conceive can be very stressful.
