With Men’s Health Week recently ending yesterday, it is important to keep Men’s Health firmly on the agenda.
One area of men’s health that is so often overlooked is declining male fertility, with women taking most of the responsibility. Our Clinic Director Jill Glover explains how Acupuncture and Chinese Herbs can help.
What Affects Sperm Quality?
Male fertility is declining rapidly, causing approximately 40% of couples’ difficulty in conceiving.
A man’s sperm may be abnormal, may lack the vitality to swim to the egg, or he may have low numbers of sperm. All these factors reduce your fertility as a couple.
Environmental hormone disruptors, lifestyle choices, drinking too much, smoking and a poor diet all affect the health of the sperm. So a pregnancy might not thrive if the sperm is of low quality. It might end early.
Men’s sperm are created day by day, so improving these lifestyle choices can have a real effect.
Men with less than 4% normal sperm can be told that’s fine. If a woman gets pregnant and miscarries, hardly anyone checks the sperm, but this can be an issue.
Seeking Help
The hardest thing in improving male fertility is getting men on board. Women are often reluctant to request their partner is tested or treated.
It is important that women know that their partners should also be tested and potentially have acupuncture to help. After all, it takes two.
The medical profession doesn’t prioritise testing men and has few treatments to improve sperm quality. They only have intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which puts their female partner through the invasive regime of IVF.
Acupuncture treatment and Chinese Herbs can offer so much more.
Power of Acupuncture & Chinese Herbs
Both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have been shown to improve male fertility. Treatment improves your sperm count, vitality, and normal sperm. It also improves your libido.
Jill has also created four unique Chinese herbal prescriptions to help improve different types of male fertility.
