Women are not the only ones who can seek solutions to fertility issues, or to seek treatment. Infertility can affect men as well. Acupuncture can support not only male fertility, but male health in general.
Did you know?
Male factor infertility makes up 40% of infertility diagnoses.
There are four important things to think about when talking about male fertility with your health care team.
- Motility: How far are the sperm swimming in a straight line?
- Morphology: How many of them have one head, one tail, and appear normal?
- Count: The number of sperm in a sample. This number will vary (sometimes dramatically) from week to week.
- Volume: The sample size, usually in millilitres (ml).
Many factors affect male fertility including stress, sleep, weight, previous surgeries, hormone levels, medications, diabetes, genetics, blood pressure, heart disease, age, drug use, and varicocele.
Just as many things affect male fertility, there are many things that can help to improve fertility and decrease the chances of infertility. Those include:
- Eating a healthy balanced diet
- Getting 7-9 hours of sleep
- Managing any health conditions
- And staying active is helpful.
