Women’s Health and Gynecology

Acupuncture can help with women's health and fertility by regulating hormones, improving blood flow to reproductive organs, and reducing stress. It can address a wide range of issues, from menstrual imbalances to menopausal symptoms, and is often used alongside conventional fertility treatments. We offer comprehelnisve health care to women of all ages.

Here at Root an Bloom HW we help by supporting female reproductive health by:

  • Balancing hormones: Acupuncture influences the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, which regulates the menstrual cycle. This can help balance hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) to promote regular ovulation.

  • Improving blood flow: By increasing blood circulation to the uterus and ovaries, acupuncture can improve egg quality and the thickness and receptivity of the uterine lining, which is crucial for implantation.

  • Addressing specific conditions: Acupuncture can be beneficial for conditions that impact fertility and overall women's health, including:

    • Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS): Research suggests acupuncture may help regulate ovulation and balance hormone levels, including reducing high androgen levels.

    • Endometriosis and fibroids: Acupuncture may help manage the pain associated with these conditions and can be used to treat other menstrual problems.

  • Managing menstrual symptoms: For women experiencing PMS, painful periods, or irregular cycles, acupuncture can help ease symptoms like cramping, bloating, and mood swings. 

At Root and Bloom HW we help by Enhancing fertility treatment outcomes

Many women use acupuncture as a complementary therapy alongside assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). 

  • Reduces stress and anxiety: The journey of fertility treatment can be emotionally and mentally stressful. Acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, lower cortisol levels, and promote relaxation, which creates a more favorable environment for conception.

  • Increases success rates: Some studies have suggested that having acupuncture sessions both before and after embryo transfer in IVF can improve pregnancy rates.

  • Mitigates side effects: For those on fertility medications, acupuncture can help reduce unwanted side effects such as bloating, nausea, and headaches. 

At Root and Bloom HW we support a healthy pregnancy and postpartum period

Beyond fertility, acupuncture is also used to manage common issues during and after pregnancy.

  • Managing pregnancy symptoms: Acupuncture can safely address common discomforts during pregnancy, including morning sickness, back and pelvic pain, sciatica, and swelling.

  • Addressing hormonal changes: we can help manage the emotional aspects of hormonal shifts during pregnancy and the postpartum period, including anxiety and postpartum depression.

  • Menopause relief: As women transition into perimenopause and menopause, acupuncture can help manage hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, and mood swings.

  • Preparing for labor: In the later stages of pregnancy, acupuncture is sometimes used to prepare the body for labor and potentially encourage natural induction. It can also be used postpartum to support recovery. story online can make all the difference.
