Male factor infertility plays a role in up to 50% of fertility challenges, yet it’s often overlooked in treatment plans. Research is showing that acupuncture can be a supportive tool for improving key s***m parameters — including count, motility and morphology.
Studies have found:
✨ Improvements in s***m motility (how well s***m move), with significant increases after acupuncture treatment
✨ Increases in normal s***m morphology (shape), which is essential for fertilization
✨ Enhanced s***m concentration and overall semen quality in multiple clinical trials and reviews
✨ Better fertilization rates and embryo quality when acupuncture is used alongside assisted reproductive treatments
There’s also emerging evidence that acupuncture may support:
– Hormone regulation (including testosterone)
– Reduced inflammation
– Improved blood flow to the reproductive organs
