Acupuncture For Female and Male Fertility

Acupuncture has been used very successfully for treating infertility and menstrual issues. Many women have walked into my office with different labels, different things they've tried, and with different issues. The one thing that it all comes down to is balance. Something is going on which is causing this imbalance, and every woman's body longs to return to a state of balance, and therefore a state of fertility. By making lifestyle changes and receiving regular acupuncture treatments, a patient's body, mind and spirit will be affected, and by treating all these different levels, pregnancy will happen with relative ease.
I don't view the body as broken, or needing to be fixed. There are many reasons why a woman might not become pregnant. It could be due to not enough sleep, not managing high stress due to work or other situations, or even unresolved emotions such as grief or excess anger. There can also be hormonal issues which the acupuncture will help to regulate.
Acupuncture helps men with fertility as well. It can help with sperm count, sperm motility and sperm morphology. It can also help with premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. Men aren't off the hook for making lifestyle changes either. These include dietary changes, as well as other recommendations I make on a case-by-case basis.
Acupuncture and IVF
Acupuncture is extremely useful in assisting with IVF treatments, in fact it is almost always recommended that you receive acupuncture if you are going to go through the IVF process. Acupuncture increases the efficacy of IVF treatment by 80%. I have treated many women (and men) during the IVF process and have an extremely high level of success in assisting them while going through this process. IVF can be a very stressful time and I am very familiar with the process. I can help you with the process and make the whole IVF treatment easier and less stressful. For the best results, it is best to start acupuncture at least 4-6 weeks prior to beginning the IVF process.
Once You Become Pregnant
Don't think you need to stop receiving acupuncture once you become pregnant. I usually recommend continuing acupuncture treatment for at least the first trimester, though we usually can spread the treatments out some. If you are a high risk pregnancy patient then you may want to consider receiving some acupuncture throughout your entire pregnancy. I will work with you to come up with the best treatment plan and time line.
Acupuncture is also extremely effective in helping women with morning sickness. I can help you feel better and can make dietary recommendations to help you feel better. Depending on your symptoms you may want acupuncture treatment once or twice a week for the first few months to find relief. If you have any questions about this please give me a call at 617-922-1881.
Some Final Thoughts
In addition to the recommendations on this page, I recommend many other helpful dietary and lifestyle changes to patients on an individual basis. By incorporating these changes and by receiving weekly acupuncture treatments, you will feel better, happier, more alive and your body should get back into a state of balance making pregnancy possible.

"I can not recommend William Wessel enough for acupuncture fertility treatments. He helped me prepare for my IVF treatments and always kept me calm and feeling nurtured. If it weren't for him I think I would have cried every night! Becoming pregnant has been such a stressful thing for me. I'm so glad I started seeing William, I don't think I ever want to stop getting acupuncture from him!"

"I started receiving acupuncture from William Wessel 3 months ago so that I could become pregnant. Within about 8 weeks I was pregnant! Now I've been coming because he has really helped me with my morning sickness. He helped me to change my diet some so it has gotten better and with the acupuncture I really do feel better. I love walking from the South End to his office on Newbury Street once a week. It's my little treat! Thanks again William!"
