Fertility Treatment
Dubai Herbal and Treatment Center’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Department has had enormous success in helping couple’s conceive. Our allopathic physician with extensive training in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) combines modern medicines with ancient therapies such as Acupuncture to help achieve your goal being pregnant.
When couples undergoing IUI or IVF, Acupuncture can help reduce the side effects from the medications and the stress of the IVF experience by promoting balance and regulating body functions.
Acupuncture can help the ovaries to produce better quality eggs, and when hormones such as estrogen and progesterone are regulated with acupuncture, a more hospitable uterus lining may be maintained. It is recommended that prospective mothers start acupuncture treatment approximately 3 months prior to IVF.
Acupuncture also improves the quality and quantity of Male sperm, which increases the chance of conception. It is therefore beneficial that the prospective father also receives acupuncture for at least 3 months prior to the start of the IVF process as the sperm maturation takes approximately 90 days.

It helps female infertility by improving the implantation of the embryo into the uterus wall, regulates follicle stimulating hormone that tells the ovaries to grow eggs, regulates Anti Mullerian hormone, which aids the eggs, regulates fertility hormones such as oestrogen levels and regulates immune factors which are important for the successful implantation of the embryo into the uterus wall.
In men, treatment can help male infertility by improving sperm quality, motility (the way it moves) and morphology (it’s make up).

During your acupuncture treatment, you will notice a gradual improvement in your menstrual cycle, for example a reduction in premenstrual cramp and menstrual pain, a better, fuller flow of blood that is red and with no clots.
-Before your IVF cycle
It is best to have acupuncture treatment at least 9 times before your embryo transfer. It’s been shown to improve pregnancy rates in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) fertility treatment. Some fertility clinics recommend having acupuncture during IVF treatment.
You can have acupuncture once a week leading up to your embryo transfer, so 9 weeks before transfer. During this time you can also optimize your lifestyle and diet to further improve your live birth rate.
-Start of IVF
Once your IVF cycle starts, if you are having a long IVF cycle, it’s best to have acupuncture weekly until you start ovarian stimulation.
When you start taking fertility drugs to stimulate your ovaries to grow lots of eggs, it’s ideal to have acupuncture twice a week until embryo transfer.
-during embryo transfer
When you have your embryo transferred back into your uterus, it is ideal to have treatment just before and after the transfer, ideally on the day of the transfer.
Once you’ve had your embryo transferred, we recommend having 2 sessions before you take your pregnancy test.
Acupuncture is a dose like every other treatment. Its affects last for around 3-4 days then need to be repeated. The best treatment option is to have acupuncture twice a week for maximum effect. Having acupuncture treatment less frequently than once a week is not advisable as its effects will be minimal and it will have little benefit.
Having treatment from a fertility specialist such as DHTC will reduce anxiety and stress levels, regulate fertility hormones, boost energy and blood levels, increase blood flow to the uterus, improve implantation and pregnancy rates as well as reduce the chances of having a miscarriage.
