Acupuncture for Male Fertility

Perhaps you’re at the start of your baby-making journey, and you’re not sure why you’re not pregnant. You may have suffered pregnancy loss, failed IVF rounds and have been told your sperm parameters are not good. Whatever brings you here, I am here to help. When couples work together on their fertility, this can make a huge difference.

• Sperm is 50% of an embryo and your DNA is passed to your future child through your sperm.

• When there is damage to the DNA of the sperm, this has a direct influence on a successful pregnancy and is a contributor to miscarriage.

• Underlying health issues directly impact the sperm, so your consultation will be very thorough, looking at all of your symptoms and exploring your health history and lifestyle.

• IVF is not a ‘fix all’ for sperm issues like low morphology or motility, no matter what your IVF clinic has told you. Prepping for IVF for 3 months is very beneficial. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.

Fertility Acupuncture supports sperm health as follows:

• improves blood flow to the testes (note: the testicles are never needled, we use the acupuncture channels on the leg)

• supports hormone regulation

• reduces inflammation and oxidative stress

• and calms the nervous system
