Applicability of Moxibustion Therapy in the Fertility of Older Women

With the progress of modern medicine, the fertility of elderly women has increasingly become a topic of concern. Moxibustion therapy, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is used by more and more people for assisted reproductive treatment. This article will elaborate on the applicability and effect of moxibustion therapy in the fertility of elderly women from the following four aspects.

1. Effect of moxibustion therapy on ovarian function

Moxibustion therapy can improve the blood circulation of ovarian tissue, promote the development and maturation of follicles, and increase the quality of eggs through the role of heat and drug properties. A study published in Shandong Traditional Chinese Medicine magazine found that after three consecutive months of moxibustion treatment, the ovarian function of most elderly women has been significantly improved, and the egg production rate and quality have improved.

Another study found that moxibustion therapy can also regulate the ovarian endocrine balance, increase the secretion of sex hormones, and improve the ovarian ovulation rate. This is particularly important for elderly women, because with the growth of age, ovarian function declines, and the ovulation rate decreases accordingly. Moxibustion therapy can help to increase this ratio and increase the chance of pregnancy.

2. Improvement of uterine environment by moxibustion

The uterus is an important organ for women's fertility. Moxibustion therapy can improve the uterine blood circulation, increase the supply of uterine nutrition and improve the quality of endometrium by regulating the internal environment of the uterus. A study conducted in the Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine found that after three months of moxibustion treatment, the thickness of endometrium of elderly women increased significantly, and the surface congestion improved, which had a positive impact on embryo implantation.

At the same time, moxibustion can also regulate the uterine contraction function, make the uterus fully expand, and provide a better environment for the growth of embryos. A study found that after moxibustion treatment, the cervical relaxation of elderly women was improved and the pregnancy rate was increased.

3. The effect of moxibustion therapy on the overall conditioning of the body

Elderly women need not only the coordination of various organs of the body, but also the overall conditioning. Moxibustion therapy has the role of supplementing qi, nourishing blood and regulating the meridians, which can improve the overall qi and blood circulation and improve the immunity of the body. The study found that after three consecutive months of moxibustion treatment, the level of estrogen in the blood of elderly women has been significantly improved, and the immune regulation function has also been enhanced.

In addition, moxibustion therapy can also reduce the pressure and tension of the body and promote physical and mental relaxation. During the operation of moxibustion therapy, patients can get a warm feeling, thus improving their mood, reducing anxiety and depression, which is particularly important for elderly women, because moxibustion therapy can not only improve their physiological state, but also improve their psychological quality, so that they can be more optimistic about facing fertility problems.

4. Risks and precautions of moxibustion therapy

Although moxibustion therapy has obvious advantages in the fertility of elderly women, some risks and precautions still need to be paid attention to. First of all, moxibustion therapy may cause skin allergy, so regular hospitals and professional doctors need to be selected to ensure the safety of moxibustion operation. Secondly, the therapeutic effect of moxibustion needs a certain amount of time to accumulate, and patients need to have enough patience and confidence. *Later, moxibustion therapy is not applicable to all fertility problems of elderly women. Patients need to conduct comprehensive evaluation under the guidance of doctors and choose appropriate treatment methods according to their own conditions.

To sum up, moxibustion therapy has certain applicability and effect in the fertility of elderly women. Through the impact on ovarian function, improvement of uterine environment, and the role of overall body conditioning, moxibustion therapy can help improve the fertility opportunities of elderly women. However, before receiving moxibustion treatment, patients need to fully communicate and evaluate with doctors to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.
