Acupuncture for Male Infertility
Acupuncture and moxibustion can be particularly effective, especially when focusing on the conception meridian. In Chinese medicine, the conception vessel and the governing vessel are terms used to describe an energy pathway that encompasses or passes through the pituitary and thyroid glands, pancreas, and testes. This approach can enhance both the quantity and quality of sperm, address hormonal imbalances, and help manage any stress or anxiety factors.
An acupuncturist will focus on the following acupuncture points:
LiV 3, LiV 8, St 36, SP 6, GV 4, GV 3, CV 3, CV 4, CV 6, UB 20, UB 23.
Additional points may include Kidney, Subcortex, Internal Secretion, and Shen-men.
