Male Fertility and Acupuncture: More Than Just Numbers

Are you unintentionally sabotaging your fertility journey? While sperm issues account for around 60% of infertility cases, too often it’s only women who seek treatment.

A TCM Perspective

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fertility is closely linked to the Kidney system, especially the essence (jing) that governs reproductive health. When Kidney qi is weak, it can lead to poor sperm quality, low libido, or fatigue.

Factors like dampness, heat, and stagnation can also affect sperm motility (movement) and morphology (structure).

How Acupuncture Supports Fertility

Acupuncture helps strengthen the Kidney system, clear internal heat, and improve local blood and qi flow to the reproductive organs. It also supports stress regulation — a major factor in fertility outcomes for many couples.

Whole-Body Fertility Care

Whether you’re trying to conceive naturally or through IVF, acupuncture offers a supportive, whole-body approach to optimising fertility. It’s not just about sperm count or test results — it’s about restoring balance where it matters most, for both partners.
