HOW IS HIGH FSH INFERTILITY TREATED WITH ACUPUNCTURE AND HERBAL MEDICINE?
HIGH FSH INFERTILITY:
Follicle-stimulating hormones (FSH) is an essential hormone for the reproductive system. FSH is release from the anterior pituitary gland controlled by the hypothalamus that stimulates follicle production and maturation of sex cells. FSH levels vary in aging. Women in their early adulthood have a lower FSH level with higher ovarian reserve compared to a woman in their mid-adulthood. As the women age, their FSH levels begin to rise, increasing their FSH levels and decreasing their ovarian reserve. High FSH levels reduce the number of follicles and egg maturity in the ovaries resulting in an abnormal egg development that lower the chances of conceiving, miscarriage, and infertility.
HIGH FSH INFERTILITY SYMPTOMS
Symptoms that may indicate high FSH infertility are similar to premature ovarian failure and menopause. They may experience irregular periods, hot flashes and night sweats, headaches, visual impairment, hormonal deficiencies, and difficulty conceiving.
Risk Factors are:
Between 35 and 40 years old
Family history of premature ovarian failure
Endometriosis
Poor egg quality
Radiation exposure
Alcohol abuse
TREATMENT OF HIGH FSH INFERTILITY
There is no treatment for high FSH level. Instead, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) hormone is primarily used at a fertility clinic to treat women with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). The female body converts DHEA androgen (male hormone) into testosterone hormone to increase the chance of pregnancy by in vitro fertilization (IVF). DHEA works by assisting in spontaneous conceptions, shortening time to pregnancy, increase quality and quantity of eggs and embryos, decrease the risk of miscarriage, and improve cumulative pregnancy rates. However, women with high FSH level require blood work to determine if they qualify for IVF and may undergo a series of DHEA treatments before IVF. The side effects of DHEA in women may include acne, hair loss, upset stomach, high blood pressure, facial hair, deepening of the voice, fatigue, nasal congestion, headache, palpation, and insomnia.
ACUPUNCTURE TO BENEFIT HIGH FSH INFERTILITY
Acupuncture and herbal medicine induce homeostatic response on the cellular level. Acupuncture influence the body’s internal organs to correct disrupted vital balance. Acupuncture helps the body by strengthening the female ovarian and follicular function, regain regular menstrual cycle, improve pregnancy, and their quality of life. Acupuncture and herbal medicine helps decrease high FSH infertility by stimulating the central nervous system to release chemicals in the brain. The brain then releases other chemicals and hormones that influence the body’s own internal regulating system. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used, and no surgical operation performed.
CASE STUDIES:
A study conducted by Medical Acupuncture reported that Chinese herbals help lowered FSH level and National Center of Biotechnology Information study shows how acupuncture increase fertility. Acupuncture help stimulates and balances the hormone in the body that affects fertility by restoring and strengthening the health and balances of the body to allow conception to happen naturally. With the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine, it can lower the FSH level and improves the ovarian and follicular function for conception. Testimonials on Agape Natural Health has proven how acupuncture and herbal medicine has successfully improved the lowering of high FSH levels and conception in infertility patients.

PREMATURE OVARIAN FAILURE & HIGH FSH (108)
HOPELESS ABOUT FSH LEVELS? THERE IS HEALING!
“I searched the internet for some sort of hope. No one gave us hope and everyone we went to were negative. I found the Natural Medicine Center website and one of Dr. Huang’s mottos are, “God gives you herbs.” It caught my attention. I wasn’t into natural medicine before but I decided to give it a try. Other doctors haven’t given me hope. I started coming to Natural Medicine Center on February 11, 2011 and received acupuncture and herbs. I wanted to lower my FSH and get pregnant, have a baby and be healed from Premature Ovarian Failure. We were surprised and amazed about what natural medicine can do. He’s been to every treatment with me and has been very supportive. The clinic felt homey. I like it! I love it! Dr. Huang is a Christian and being asked to pray makes a tremendous difference in our lives. After my 3rd treatment, I was more energetic. My periods are still adjusting but they became better. Lab results confirmed that my FSH lowered to 9.1, normal levels.” C.G. Tustin, California
