Acupuncture to reduce stress and depression.

Stress is a part of our lives and it could have a negative impact on fertility both in women and men. Not being able to achieve our desire of becoming parents could also generate an added stress. At this level, acupuncture provides an important benefit as it could act rising the levels of endorphines and reducing the levels of cortisol and prolactin.

It has been noted that the high levels of stress during the treatments of assisted reproduction could have an influence, thus reducing the implantation rate and damaging the semen quality. Depression is also considered another negative factor for this process. With acupuncture, both stress and depression could be treated successfully.
