Did you know that male factors contribute to infertility in nearly half of all cases? Research shows that 33% of infertility cases involve both partners, while 50% are solely related to male factors. Despite this, male infertility is often overlooked in discussions about reproductive health.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly acupuncture, offers a natural, effective solution to address many of the underlying issues that impact sperm production and overall fertility.
How Acupuncture Supports Male Fertility:
Acupuncture is a time-tested practice that has been proven to enhance both sperm quality and quantity. By balancing the body’s yin and yang energies, acupuncture improves the transport of sperm and supports better sperm count, mobility, and motility within the female reproductive system.
A personalized acupuncture treatment plan, typically lasting about three months, helps restore balance and vitality by opening internal energy channels. This non-invasive and relaxing procedure not only promotes healing but also delivers long-lasting benefits for reproductive health.
Common Causes of Male Infertility
Male infertility can result from various factors, including:
Age: Sperm quality and mobility decline after age 40, with an increase in abnormal sperm.
Overall Health: Poor lifestyle choices and exposure to environmental toxins can impact sperm health.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, drug use, and harmful chemical exposure contribute significantly.
Infections: STDs and free radicals can damage sperm.
Medications: Certain prescriptions may interfere with sperm production.
Poor Diet: Oxidative stress and insufficient antioxidants affect sperm health.
Stress and Trauma: High stress levels and past surgeries can impair fertility.
Increased Scrotal Temperature: Heat exposure from prolonged sitting or tight clothing can lower sperm quality.
In response to the global decline in sperm count, the World Health Organization (WHO) updated its reference levels for sperm health in 2010.
