Description
JASA (2019), Gehrke, Janel.
Abstract
Recent research shows a decline in overall male fertility, an increasing trend in advanced paternal age, and a link between these factors and an increased risk of cancer. Typical treatment options for men with suboptimal sperm numbers are limited and often costly; however, research shows that acupuncture can have a positive effect on sperm quality and quantity. Discussed here is Part One of an overview of male fertility diagnostics and treatment options from both biomedical and Chinese medical perspectives. Part Two will examine the current available literature to determine if acupuncture is a viable treatment option for patients with idiopathic male infertility.
