She usually finds this out because she has gone to a doctor to find out why she cannot get pregnant. Wanting to be a mother is one of the most natural of instincts, and it rips your insides right out to find out that you are infertile. There are a variety of reasons for infertility, one of the more predominate ones is poly-cystic ovary syndrome. Other causes are tubal adhesion’s due to pelvic inflammatory disease or endometriosis.There are many, many other causes as well. It is pretty much an individual cause, and the treatments for same are also individual.

There are some areas of enhancement when Acupuncture and Infertility treatments are used in tandem. The causes listed above are not likely to be helped by acupuncture, but many others are. This is according to the American Pregnancy Association. They write that acupuncture can increase blood flow to the endometrium, helping to form a thick rich lining.
