Men... Did You Know...?
Male Fertility
Our Role...
Confidential Service...
| Men, did you know that it takes 100 days for a sperm to mature? This means that your preparation for 'the event' needs to be in place well in advance. It is suggested that male subfertility may be a factor in 50% to 70% of couple infertility cases, and that up to 50% of male fertility problems may be unexplained. It is also generally accepted that in the Western world sperm counts have decreased over the last 30 years. You are perhaps going through a difficult time trying to conceive. You have cut down on cigarettes and alcohol and changed your diet - what else can you do? |
| Many people choose to have acupuncture to help maintain good health, as a preventative measure, or simply to improve their general sense of wellbeing. According to traditional Chinese medical theory, sperm production is governed by the Kidneys. You may have noticed that you have a general tendency to over-heat, or to get chilly at times - factors which could affect sperm production. Several preliminary studies have looked at the ability of acupuncture to influence male sperm parameters such as total sperm count, concentration, motility and hormonal profiles. Whilst they often disagree with regard to the degree that sub-fertility may be managed by acupuncture, most have reported some positive results. |
