It Takes Two to tango

Acupuncture For Male Fertility

How Nuala Can Help

It takes two to tango so it isn’t all just about female fertility!

It’s not just the egg and uterine environment we need to optimise, it is vital that male health and fertility is also assessed and enhanced if needed. I’m also interested in both partner’s health and medical history.

Ideally, I would see both people involved for the initial appointment. Sperm takes 100 days to mature and the inclusion of acupuncture for male fertility treatment can be of benefit where tests have shown sub-optimal results.

If both don’t come for treatment then I definitely want to know about their health, lifestyle and any sperm testing to help them get in the best possible health for conception – natural or assisted.
