Scalp and abdominal acupuncture treatment of infertility based on "hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian" axis
With the continuous increase in the age at first marriage and pregnancy in China, the incidence of infertility has been rising year by year. The hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis plays an important regulatory role in female reproductive function and corresponds to the "kidney-
Tiangui
-thoroughfare and conception vessels-uterus" axis in traditional Chinese medicine. Scalp acupuncture combined with abdominal acupuncture can act synergistically on the upstream, middle, and downstream components of the HPO axis, thereby exerting an overall regulatory effect on neuroendocrine and reproductive functions. This therapy can be used to treat infertility caused by ovula
tory disorders, luteal phase deficiency, and thin endometrium.
