Acupuncture Support for Women’s Health

Many women experience gynaecological complaints. These significantly impact their daily and monthly experiences, where the physical and mental challenges compound each other. The complaints cover everything from painful, irregular, or nonexistent periods to PMS, endometriosis, PCOS, and more. 



Acupuncture is often used as a safe, holistic approach to ease these symptoms and restore the perfect order within your body to support long-term reproductive health. 

Luckily, acupuncture has been used for centuries to support our health. More recently, fertility acupuncture has become increasingly popular because of the research that backs its success. Not only is it proven by research to have better outcomes, but we see it in the clinic every week in terms of successes and how much better patients feel in themselves.

Common Gynaecological Concerns We Treat

There are many things that we see in the clinic, which include:

  • Painful, irregular, or absent periods
  • Premenstrual syndrome
  • Endometriosis
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Sometimes, there isn't anything as dramatic as the above. Many patients come to acupuncture because they notice more significant changes around their cycle. These could include changes in their mood, bloating, fatigue, and many other symptoms that don't quite feel right.

How Acupuncture Helps Gynaecological Problems

  • It can help to regulate patients' cycles through balancing hormones.
  • Acupuncture can help ease pain, including cramps, by improving blood flow and relaxing muscles.
  • We can help build blood by looking at the system's production of qi and blood to support the quality and quantity of blood.
  • Sometimes it's about supporting the emotional landscape of your world so that we can remind the body that it is safe.
  • For conditions like endometriosis and PCOS, we can reduce inflammation.

In general, acupuncture supports mood and energy by calming the nervous system and encouraging greater hormone balance. This encourages improved general wellbeing across the cycle.

What to Expect

Expect to feel benefits from the first session. Most patients feel a noticeable difference from the start, but seeing meaningful change can take a bit longer.

Every treatment is tailored to your unique presentation by understanding the cause of your complaint. Hence, it is not a standard protocol that we use. That's why every journey starts with an hour and a half consultation, during which you have plenty of time to share your experiences.

We cover your menstrual history, including your symptoms, and we look at your lifestyle and a holistic assessment of your general health. This covers stress, diet, sleep, energy, and much more. 


After several sessions, many women notice improved cycle regularity, reduced pain, and greater balance.

What to Expect During Your Treatments

Deep consultations explore your fertility journey, including your menstrual history, lifestyle factors, and everyday life. It’s often in the small details, in how you perceive your fertility health, that can improve your success rates and ensure you are getting the best guidance.

Holistic assessments help us examine your overall wellbeing, stress levels, diet, and other health factors. This allows us to create tailored treatment plans, depending on whether you suffer from digestive issues or mental health issues, to ensure you are getting unique treatments based on your personal situation. We are making you the best version of yourself and optimising your fertility chances.

Every treatment is different. We often use a series of 4-10 needles to support your fertility and general health, with treatments differing from one session to the next. It's about utilising the full range of over 365 points to tailor each treatment depending on how you are feeling and where you are in your cycle.

Many patients notice better cycle regularity, reduced stress, and greater balance and wellbeing within the first few sessions. Promising results show this, and it isn't just the fantastic feedback we receive from patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can acupuncture really help with fertility?

    Yes, and increasingly, results are showing this. Whilst it isn't a guarantee of pregnancy, it's widely used to support fertility naturally and alongside medical treatments. Many patients really do see the benefits in terms of feeling better in themselves, improved hormonal health, and being better able to handle the stress of any fertility journey.

  • When should I start acupuncture if I’m doing IVF?

    Ideally, acupuncture should begin several months before IVF to prepare the body, but even starting during stimulation or before embryo transfer can still be very beneficial.

  • Does acupuncture help with male fertility?

    Yes. Acupuncture can support sperm health by improving blood flow, reducing oxidative stress, and balancing hormones. It takes a minimum of three months to change the quality and quantity of sperm, so it can take time, but it has a great chance of making a positive difference

  • How many sessions will I need?

    This depends on your personal circumstances. For natural fertility, weekly sessions are often recommended leading up to ovulation. For IVF, treatment is always tailored around the stages of your cycle and treatment plan.
