For example, acupuncture is very good in improving the micro-circulations in the reproductive systemarea, in the uterus area and the ovary area. There are researchs that have shown that if the micro-circulation around the reproductive system are improved, a lot of times the successful pregnancy can ensue much easier. Also there are situations where the acupuncture can also be very helpful to sensitize the ovary and the uterus so the ovaries function better. So instead of ovulating very slowly, the acupuncture can induce and help the ovulation process to make the growth of the egg much, much bette; to make the growth of the union much, much better, to help the transport of the egg from the ovary all the way down to the uterus much, much better. It also helps the mucous secretion better so it can properly preserve the sperm that conceive. Now that's just in women. In men it can also help and improve the sperm parameters. Sperm sometimes can have really weak movement, have poor shape and at the same time it might also have low count. You just don't have enough. So a lot of times acupuncture can induce and try to get the testes to produce better sperm, to help to get the value up, to get the sperm more alive and more active and all that is going to help the couple, is going to help the person get pregnant much easier.
