What are the effects of moxibustion in treating male infertility?

Male infertility is a common disease of our reproductive system. The physical constitutions of different men are different, and the specific causes of the disease may also be different. Generally, we clinically believe that if a couple has lived together for more than two years without taking any contraceptive measures and has not become pregnant, and the main reason lies on the man's side, it is called male fertility depression, and the main reason may be congenital or acquired pathological.

The main symptoms of male infertility are liver-qi stagnation, chest and rib pain, impotence or erectile dysfunction, inability to ejaculate clear fluid during sexual intercourse, and easy erection but no ejaculation. Symptoms of kidney deficiency include sore waist and weak knees, premature ejaculation, impotence, decreased libido, sometimes spermatorrhea, or frequent urination at night and erectile dysfunction. Generally speaking, the treatment effect of functional infertility is better, while the treatment effect of infertility caused by organic diseases is poorer. Mental stress or excessive anxiety plays a very important role in the onset of infertility. Therefore, patients should be open-minded, eliminate negative mental stimulation, and maintain a happy mood.

For moxibustion treatment of male infertility, the recommended points are the eight sacral points on the abdomen and back, and a square four-hole or six-hole moxibustion box is recommended. Select the Zusanli and Sanyinjiao acupoints, and use moxibustion until you feel a local warm and comfortable feeling. Apply for 30 minutes on the abdomen and back and 15 minutes on the feet, once a day. One course of treatment is 7 days. Rest for 2-3 days in between. Stop during menstruation and after conception.

The use of moxibustion to treat male infertility requires a relatively long process. During the treatment, men should pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. They should maintain healthy and regular life and eating habits, avoid staying up late, and do appropriate physical exercise, which can improve sperm activity and survival rate, which is of great help for pregnancy.
