Acupuncture to Increase Sperm Motility

The cause of the infertility of a couple may lie with the man or woman in the relationship when both sexes are affected by fertility problems. When you meet with infertility, it is important to consult a fertility specialist to help determine what could be causing the problem so treatment may be given. Treatment that was used by many couples and individuals is acupuncture.

It is an ancient Chinese treatment that has been used for thousands of years to relieve various ailments, including pain. It is used most often in the West. Doctors believe that life energy called qi flows through the body and when blocked, can occur under certain conditions such as infertility. Acupuncture works to release this energy.

While the reasons for the success of acupuncture is not fully understood, has improved the circulation in the reproductive organs, increasing the thickness of the lining of the uterus, improving the quality of the eggs and can improve the efficiency of drugs for fertility.

For men, acupuncture can improve sperm quality and can improve sperm motility. Acupuncture can be an effective way to reduce stress and stress can be a big inhibitor for fertility. There are many benefits of acupuncture and is often helpful to talk with a specialist to learn more about what this treatment can do and what to expect during and after treatment.

In a study of 28 men with idiopathic infertility, which means that the cause was unknown who received acupuncture twice a week for five weeks, levels of motility improved in men receiving acupuncture compared to those without. Those who received acupuncture also saw changes in the structure of sperm and semen quality.

Men whose sperm quality, mobility, or the count may be in question may find acupuncture helpful. Moreover, in cases where the cause of infertility is unknown, acupuncture may be recommended as well. Simply reducing stress can be helpful in some cases and can lead to success.

For many, acupuncture can be recommended for use in endometriosis, PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), poor egg quality, low ovarian reserve, advanced age, recurrent miscarriage, etc.. Men with low sperm count or sperm DNA fragmentation can be encouraged to give acupuncture a try. What's more, acupuncture can be recommended for couples or people who participate in infertility treatments like in vitro fertilization or other assisted reproduction techniques.

Menstrual Irregularities

Although PMS and menstrual irregularities are modern Western disease categories, Chinese doctors treated what they call "the movement of menstrual diseases" (SPM) and "menstrual diseases" (menstrual irregularities) for millennia.
Menstrual disorders consists of the menstrual cycle in which "period" or menstruation coming "late", "early or" any fixed date. "Menstrual disorders also include situations where there is uterine bleeding during the time period and / or persistent uterine bleeding at irregular intervals (menorrhagia / metorrhagia) the absence of periods (amenorrhoea), painful menstruation (dysmenorrhea), ovarian cysts and endometriosis.
According to the theory of Chinese medicine, is very clear in each of these mechanisms are premenstrual symptoms, as well as the "state of health of the menstrual cycle," above. It 'time for each of these treatments tested. These may include acupuncture and / or Chinese herbal medicine. Care ", the business of menstrual disorders" / PMS and menstrual irregularities, some will start 28-30 days during the woman's menstrual cycle, and will depend on how your symptoms. These treatments, with changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle changes.

Such treatment not only suppress symptoms and regulate the menstrual cycle, but the mechanism for rebalancing the body, resulting in vibrant good health and a renewed sense of balance and harmony.

Using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, all the major organs and intestines in harmony, as well as, a woman's qi, blood and body fluids. Western medicine describes the mechanisms of premenstrual syndrome and menstrual irregularities in terms of hormones, prostaglandins, and neurotransmitters. Even if all these are true and valid, such as biochemical descriptions are to educate and empower women.

Although the Chinese concepts of qi and blood, Yin and Yang, the five elements and twelve organs and intestines may appear primitive and unscientific, however, they have proven their value in clinical practice working in more than 100 generations . Using these concepts, women are educated and independent in a very human practice. No one can control their secretion of estradiol, but "living qi stagnation" may be mitigated by exercise, relaxation and acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine properly.

About Fertility

The debate and research below provides information on infertility, based on our best knowledge, understanding and daily practice. That is not a substitute for care from your doctor.
There are many causal factors that can cause infertility. Both of these systems, Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), are the insights and understanding of the causes and pathophysiological mechanisms of human infertility, and therefore, the management approaches are described below.

Requires balanced fertility hormones in reproductive organs structurally sound, healthy and nutritious diet and clean. Even with the above in place, the chances of a healthy couple of conception each month is only 25%. The paradigm of Chinese medicine, "Fertility" is equivalent to an obstruction, the free flow of Qi, blood and body fluids in the body, so that a balanced sound reproduction that produces fluctuations in the body's Yin and Yang . For the reproductive system to function at its peak, there must be a balance between all these components and systems of the body.

A couple is considered infertile if after a year of unprotected sex, which were not designed. Infertility is a growing problem, especially in the United States, where infertility affects about 15% of women with $ 1 billion spent annually on treatment. In approximately 10% of cases, the exact reason is unknown. In other cases, reproductive problems, whether male or female, or both are sterile, representing approximately 18% of the population according to 2005 statistics from the National CDC.

Fertility program at our clinic that uses acupuncture, Chinese medicine, herbal and nutritional therapies to enhance fertility, improve the overall health and support the ability to become pregnant and bear a healthy baby to term . This treatment method is also used for the treatment program before the overall design.
Pre-Conception Care is a necessary and very important when planning a pregnancy. A healthy, balanced, and the right of the menstrual cycle, as well as healthy, and the eggs depends on the health and well-being of a woman wishes to become pregnant.

Pregnancy occurs when conditions allow the correct timing. Achieving these conditions can be a challenge for many couples, so it is very important to consider a holistic approach. Working with natural conception, we focus on the restoration of fertility by restoring the proper functioning of the body as a whole.
There is a tendency for many patients and doctors to focus almost exclusively on the genitals. Our experience suggests that this approach is often inadequate (as evidenced by the fact that many patients seek us because they have failed conventional medical treatment). We will find good results when it comes to overall health and wellbeing of people. When general health is beginning to change, fertility is often restored automatically. Of course, there are many things that must be addressed directly to the genitals: and that definitely require special skills, but we never could get different results that we see in Chinese medicine, if only focused on the reproductive system.

Note that each of its organs plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy indoor environment. If none of these organs can not function optimally, which can affect your ability to get pregnant and health from your baby if you are pregnant. For this reason, our program in a natural conception to Chinese medicine not only in the treatment and optimizing the function of reproduction, it is actually making healthy couples.
