Chinese medicine is able to treat both female and male infertility.
Female Infertility
There are many causes of infertility. Some of the more common causes that acupuncture can help with are PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome), Uterine Polyps or Fibroids and Endometriosis.
In general, the traditional Chinese approach to female fertility starts by looking at a woman's menstrual cycle and attempting to regulate it and the aim is to clear any stagnation of qi and blood, and create an abundance of kidney yin and yang energy that is vital for good fertility.
Male Infertility
Men suffer from infertility issues just as frequently as women. In fact between 35 percent and 40 percent of infertility problems among couples are actually caused by male conditions. There are many factors that are responsible for male infertility, including low sperm count, abnormal sperm shape and size, and reduced motility. Lifestyle, genetics, and physiological changes can also raise or lower male fertility levels, and can significantly affect a man's ability to become a father.
A recent trial published in Fertility and Sterility has shown just how effective acupuncture can be in the treatment of this condition, leading to significant increases in the number of normal sperm and equally significant reductions in structural defects.
The authors concluded that despite the inability of acupuncture to significantly reduce some sperm abnormalities, the treatment could be used to improve overall sperm quality, leading to the possibility of increased fertility.
