Can acupuncture help with low progesterone level?

Low progesterone level to get pregnant? Acupuncture can help

Progesterone is crucial for pregnancy, produced in the ovaries and increasing after ovulation. It prepares the uterine lining, prevents further ovulation, and supports pregnancy if fertilization occurs. Low progesterone can lead to infertility, miscarriage, and other symptoms. It indicates poor egg quality and affects the uterine lining's ability to support implantation. Acupuncture can enhance ovarian circulation, improve egg quality, increase progesterone production, and reduce stress, thereby boosting pregnancy chances. Studies show acupuncture can increase estradiol and progesterone levels, improve blood flow, and balance sex hormones in infertile women.
