Impotency or infertility is increasing at a staggering rate in the Generation Y youth group. An increasingly large number of couples are facing difficulties in conceiving.

Causes Of Infertility

One of the reasons for the widespread occurrence of this problem is our modern life style, which involves certain activities like:

• Excessive intake of alcohol and/or smoking.
• Poor eating habits including crash dieting, especially by women.
• Work stress often causes women to suffer from irregularities in menstrual cycles leading to problems such as excessive menstrual flow, which could lead to infertility. Also, excessive stress is responsible in reducing sperm count in males.
• Decreased activity of glands and hormones due to unhealthy life style can also lead to infertility.
• Wearing inappropriate clothes like tight trousers can also cause infertility in men.
• People are also prone to sexually transmitted diseases due to unhealthy or improper sexual activities, which is a major cause of infertility in males as well as females.
• Pelvic inflammatory disease in women could be another prime cause of infertility. It is a bacterial infection of the reproductive organs in the pelvis.
• Another cause of infertility in females can be complications or abortions during earlier pregnancies.
• Premature menopause may also lead to infertility in women. The prime cause of premature menopause can be attributed to severe mental stress.
• Accidents and injuries to reproductive organs could also cause infertility in both men and women.

In most cases, clinical treatments have proven to be quite effective in treating infertility. However, alternative therapies like acupuncture could also be of immense help and have been deployed for centuries to treat infertility. Acupuncture therapy involves the insertion of very fine needles, called the acupuncture needles, in the skin at the predetermined points.

Acupuncture therapy is performed in such a way that it ameliorates blood circulation in and around the pelvic region and thereby improves the secretion of sex hormones in your body. In males, acupuncture therapy may be used to enhance the sperm count.

However, acupuncture therapy must be performed with great care and expertise as it requires great skill to perform this alternative form of infertility treatment therapy. You can deploy Acupuncture therapy in conjunction with other form of treatment like herbal medicines.

Like any other form of alternative therapy, acupuncture therapy may give positive results for some and probably no result for others. As such, you are advised to consult your doctor before you opt for acupuncture therapy to treat infertility.

Statistics show that infertility in men and women is steadily on the rise. More and more couples experience difficulty in conceiving. To some extent, the modern life style is responsible for this.

The most common causes of infertility are:

• Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption.
• Poor dietary patterns, including bingeing on junk food or opting for crash diets.
• Stress and strain can cause women to suffer from excessive or irregular menstrual periods resulting in infertility. Stress can also lead to a reduced sperm count in men.
• Hormonal changes or decreased secretion of hormones in the body due to ailments or emotional setbacks.
• Wearing tight trousers or underwear in man can result in a reduced sperm count.
• Sexually transmitted diseases are one of the major causes of infertility in both men and women.
• In women, pelvic inflammatory diseases are another major cause of infertility throughout the globe. These diseases are caused due to bacterial infections in the reproduction organs.
• Complications during previous pregnancy or abortion can also lead to infertility in women.
• An injury to the reproductive organs due to some accident can result in infertility in men as well as women.
• Premature menopause is another major cause of infertility in most women. It usually occurs due to severe mental stress.

If you or your spouse happens to suffer from infertility, you may feel like opting for an alternative therapy instead of the usual clinical treatment. Acupuncture is one of the oldest and probably the most popular among such alternative therapies. Acupuncture has been used as a treatment for infertility since centuries. It originated in China and since then has spread all over the world.

In acupuncture, very fine sterilized needles are inserted below the skin at predetermined points on your body. It requires great skill to perform this insertion. You need to engage the services of a highly experienced and licensed acupuncture therapist for that.

Acupuncture therapy is usually done in conjunction with the herbal medicines.  The insertion of needles at specific points in the body is done in such a way that it increases the blood circulation in the pelvic region and improves the secretion of vital hormones in your body. In men acupuncture can increase the sperm count as well.

However, like any other alternative therapy for any disease or ailment, it may give positive results for some and no results for others. Before you opt for this therapy, do consult your doctor and follow his or her advice.
