Winter Park, FL – Fertility Drugs vs. Fertility Acupuncture! The Difference Between Western and Eastern Medicine!

In the Western world, surrounded by pharmaceuticals and get-better-quick treatments, the use of holistic medicine is often overlooked. For many potential fertility patients, it can be a little daunting to choose the correct type of treatment. Here are some of the differences between Western and Eastern fertility treatments!

Western Medicine tends to use more surgical and hormone-altering treatments such as IVF/IUI and fertility hormone medications. This tends to be the most suggested route of conception by most western professionals for couples who are having a difficult time conceiving. It is also one of the most expensive ways of trying to conceive. Most IVF treatments – which is the stimulation of the ovaries, surgical follicle retrieval, fertilization of the egg and sperm, and surgical transfer of embryo(s) into the uterus can cost upwards of $10,000 not including medication. IUI is another Western fertility treatment in which sperm is inserted into the uterus in hopes of fertilizing the egg. This option is less invasive and also more affordable.

Eastern Medicine takes a more holistic approach to fertility. The focus is to treat the underlying problems preventing the couple from conceiving. Eastern medicine looks at the entire body. Proper nutrition, Chinese herbs, acupuncture and massage are techniques used to conceive. Acupuncture can be used for not only preparing the body to be healthy enough to conceive, but also adds great benefits during and after conception. Morning sickness, labor pains, stimulating lactation, turning a baby and inducing labor are only some of the benefits acupuncture can offer. Fertility abdominal massage is a great addition that can help to increase blood circulation to the uterus and break down any scar tissue from previous surgeries. Nutrition is also a very big factor in holistic treatments. As nurturing your body and unborn baby starts with what you eat.
