KATY BRADSHAW ACUPUNCTURElet’s talk about male fertility
Posted on October 24, 2020
Like many of you I was deeply moved by the BBC programme on male fertility ‘Me, my brother and our balls’. This was a heartfelt and informative documentary following the challenges faced by two brothers with fertility issues resulting from testicular cancer and varicoceles.

Chinese Medicine is particularly interested in women’s health. The classic texts that date back over thousands of years dedicate a great deal of time to the study, diagnosis and treatment of women’s health. As a result of this long history acupuncture is hugely beneficial in treating gynaecological issues. In particular acupuncture can benefit:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Short/long cycles
- Painful, heavy periods
- Lack of periods
- Spotting, bleeding outside period time
- Ovulation pain
- Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Fibroids, cysts, polyps
- Endometriosis
- Hormonal imbalances eg: PMS, migraine, skin eruptions, emotional issues
Fertility
Acupuncture is of great benefit in the treatment of fertility. It can support couples to conceive naturally and during the assisted reproduction process. It is a physical and emotional support during what can be an extremely challenging time. Read about how acupuncture can benefit fertility for both men and women here.
Menopause
The menopause often brings disruption and misery to a woman’s life. It can involve one or more of a range of symptoms, which women experience to varying degrees and levels of distress. These can include night sweats and hot flushes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, fatigue, headaches, aches and pains, palpitations and genital and urinary problems.
Acupuncture supports the body to alleviate these symptoms in a natural and long-lasting way, without the need for Hormone Replacement Therapy. For women who want to continue with HRT it is still beneficial to receive acupuncture as it will treat the hormonal imbalance that the medication is masking.
You can read more about acupuncture and the menopause in the blog post ‘Acupuncture – an effective alternative to HRT?’

Are you longing for a baby? Have you been trying for a while, but nothing is happening? Maybe you’re just starting out on your fertility journey and want to make sure all is well. Or perhaps you’re thinking about IVF and need support?
I know how frustrating it can be when your body just won’t do what you want it to.
I’m here to help.
I provide couples with a natural, holistic approach that has proven to be effective time and time again. With years of experience and a deep commitment to your well-being, I have helped countless couples have the baby they’ve always wanted.
Acupuncture has proven to be an effective fertility treatment that helps to regulate hormonal function and increase blood flow in the reproductive organs, which reduces stress and increases the chances of conception during ovulation. It also helps prepare your body for implantation and pregnancy, which is why it’s often used as part of an IVF treatment plan.
I offer packages that includes treatments for both partners. This means you can go through this process together—and receive the support you need during this difficult time in your life.
Get in touch for a chat about where you’re at with your fertility journey and how I can help.

To get well and stay well
My name is Katy Bradshaw and I am a trauma-informed acupuncturist. I help freedom-seekers to get well and stay well.
My practice is rooted in the belief that our capacity for healing is innate and we can radically change our health if given the time, space and support to do so.
Our bodies know how to heal.
I use my extensive experience to help people enact that courageous change. It takes patience, compassion and a different way of thinking but it’s worth making the investment. YOU are worth the investment.
We all deserve to thrive.
I create a safe and comfortable space for you to pause, to listen and to reflect, so that you can tune in to what your body is telling you. We will have the unique conversations that you won’t be having anywhere else, where you will gain new insights into what’s really going on and ultimately get to where you want to be – feeling good, functioning well and in control of your well-being.
Are you ready to do the work?
I treat a wide range of illness but I specialise in these main areas:
