At present, a large number of studies show that acupuncture can effectively treat male infertility mediated by varicocele. Apart from oligoasthenospermia, other diseases that cause male infertility due to semen quality include oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, and teratozoospermia (56). In 2015, some scholars from Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Gansu University of Chinese Medicine in China searched and analyzed Chinese literature on acupuncture for male infertility (52). This is the first report on the effectivity of acupuncture in treating male infertility in Western countries. The earliest study of acupuncture for male infertility in Western countries was conducted by Riegler et al. in 1984.
There are also studies showing that acupuncture versus placebo acupuncture has no statistically significant effect on in vitro fertilization outcomes (115). It has also been demonstrated that acupuncture promotes the release of serotonin, which plays a role in the central regulation of the ejaculatory reflex under the influence of several brain centers (111, 112). It is also possible, although speculative, that acupuncture may alter the secretion of neurotransmitters such as selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), as shown in Sunay’s study (104). The parasympathetic postganglionic fibers are distributed in the penile vascular smooth muscle, cavernous smooth muscle, and cavernous sinus small bundle column smooth muscle, and play a crucial role in the process of penile erection (107).
Low testosterone levels can contribute to low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and depression, all of which can have an impact on sexual relations and the ability to conceive. Replacement therapy hinders the body’s ability to naturally produce testosterone, therefore making conception more difficult. There is not currently a scientific link between soy consumption and testosterone levels. High testosterone levels have been linked to erectile dysfunction, however, having high testosterone levels is an uncommon condition. No, masturbation is not shown to have much of an effect on testosterone levels. No, masturbating is not shown to decrease testosterone levels. Anabolic steroids are taken to increase the production of testosterone to increase muscle mass and strength.
This article was submitted to Reproduction, a section of the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology TCM offers valuable approaches to prostate health, addressing conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostatitis. Acupuncture can improve blood circulation, enhance nerve function, and reduce stress, all of which can contribute to improved erectile function. However, potential side effects can include minor bleeding, bruising, and soreness at the needle insertion sites. These points are believed to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Acupuncture involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body, known as acupoints.
