MALE FACTOR INFERTLITY

 

In the United states approximately 15% of the population fall into the category of being unable to conceive. In these couples, male and female factors are equally accountable for the problem. Problems with sperm fall under a number of categories.1) structural abnormalities: 2) Low sperm count: 3) Motility (the sperms ability to “swim”:4) Morphology (the shape and maturity of the sperm cells):4) Clumping (sperm cells that clump together):5) High white/red blood cell counts.

From a Chinese perspective, the main causes of male infertility fall under two broad categories: one is a deficiency of the Kidneys (usually kidney Yang; sometimes kidney yin); the other is damp-heat in the pelvic organs. [Kidney deficiency may also affect the liver and spleen and lead to stasis of qi and blood. A study conducted by the College of Acupuncture & Moxabustion at the Shanghai University of TCM, Shanghai, China, reported 35 cases of male infertility were treated only with low frequency electro acupuncture. The results of the study showed improvement in activity and quantity of sperm, semen quality and spermatogenic environment (semen quantity increased obviously after treatment with significant decrease of mucosity and liquefaction time) improved. Sex hormones were normalized as follows:

 

33.5% improvement in FSH

 

35.3% in LH

 

57.1% in estrogen

 

65.1% in testosterone
