Akupunktur in der Behandlung der männlichen Unfruchtbarkeit: Ein Überblick
Abstract
In recent years, there has been a global decline in the quality of human semen, leading to a gradual increase in the incidence of infertility, which significantly impacts men’s health. Due to the complex etiology of male infertility, clinical treatment is predominantly confined to drugs, surgery, and assisted reproductive technology. However, the efficacy of these approaches often falls short of meeting clinical needs, prompting the exploration of new treatment methods. Acupuncture, a crucial component of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has gained increasing prominence in the treatment of male infertility, yielding noteworthy results. This article offers an overview of TCM’s perspective on male infertility, explores the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in treating male infertility and the corresponding mechanisms, and summarizes the existing challenges in the current acupuncture-based treatment of male infertility. It also clarifies the validity of acupuncture and provides references for the future development of acupuncture in the treatment of male infertility.
