Male Infertility And Acupuncture - Is This A Way Out?

Infertility is a terrible thing for couples who want children. The personal trauma that both man and woman go through, when they find that either of them suffers from infertility is very high. Infertility, by default, is associated with women in the general belief. However, in reality both men and women can be affected by infertility in equal manner.

Male Infertility And Acupuncture – One Of The Most Favored Infertility Treatments

The first thing that the doctor would advice when there is any doubt regarding fertility, is to undergo a battery of tests to check the possibility and causes of infertility both in the man and in the woman. As I mentioned earlier, finding out that one is infertile is extremely painful. Usually, in such cases, the person thus affected would need some professional counseling, besides medical treatment.

When infertility affects the man, it usually indicates some deficiency in the sperm. It could be that there is low sperm count, low motility of sperm, low quality of sperm and even no sperm production at all. In some cases, sperm is produced dead or deformed for which they cannot swim and/or penetrate the egg of the female. There are cases where the sperm dies too soon, but this is very rare.

Unfortunately, there is precious little that the medical treatments can do to improve the sperm production. The treatments, whatever they are, are slow, cumbersome and have no guarantee as such. This is why most of the times; men turn to alternative medicine for cures.

Male infertility and acupuncture - among the cures and treatments available two are most favored: (i) male infertility and acupuncture and (ii) male infertility and ayurved or herbal treatment. These are not the only infertility treatments – only some of the most popular ones.

The male infertility and acupuncture is considered safe and quite efficient because it uses an age-old concept with minimum body invasion and fortunately has a very high rate of success. The only criteria that you need to pay to pay extreme attention to is that the needles are sterilized before these are used on you. Eventually to be sure of the fact you could always buy a set of use-and-throw needles for every session you have.

The male infertility and acupuncture has received a lot of attention and advertisement in the past, though not enough to make it a first-and-foremost choice of treatment. Many men prefer the totally non-invasive method of ayurvedic (herbal) treatment instead.
