Effect of moxibustion on fertility of elderly women

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the phenomenon of late marriage and late childbirth of elderly women is gradually increasing. However, due to the decline of women's physiological function, the fertility of older women is poor. Moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is regarded by many people as a help to improve fertility. In this article, we will elaborate the influence of moxibustion on the fertility of elderly women from the following four aspects.

1. Effect of moxibustion on reproductive system

Moxibustion is a kind of therapy that stimulates acupoints by burning the heat and herbal ingredients emitted by moxa leaves to regulate human functions. Research shows that moxibustion can promote blood circulation and improve the function of the reproductive system. Moxibustion has a warming effect on the uterus, can improve the internal environment of the uterus, increase the thickness of the uterine wall and nutrition supply, and improve the success rate of the implantation of fertilized eggs. In addition, moxibustion can also stimulate the gonads, increase the probability of follicular development and ovulation, and improve the chance of pregnancy.

In addition, moxibustion can also relieve pain symptoms related to the reproductive system, such as menstrual pain, irregular menstruation, etc. These problems may affect the ability of older women to conceive. Moxibustion can alleviate the pain and improve the comfort of birth preparation.

2. Regulation of moxibustion on endocrine system

The endocrine system plays an important role in the female reproductive process. Moxibustion can regulate hormone levels in the body by stimulating acupoints, thus affecting fertility. Research shows that moxibustion can effectively regulate the level of estrogen, promote the recovery of ovarian function, and increase the chance of ovulation. In addition, moxibustion can also adjust thyroid function, improve thyroid hormone level, and help to produce high-quality eggs.

Moxibustion can also improve women's psychological state, reduce stress and anxiety, thus helping to regulate the balance of endocrine system. Because pressure and emotional fluctuations will also have a certain impact on fertility.

3. Adjustment of moxibustion on immune system

The immune system also plays an important role in pregnancy. Some studies have shown that moxibustion can enhance immunity and improve the tolerance of the body to fertilized eggs. The regulating effect of moxibustion on the immune system can increase the success rate of pregnancy and reduce the risk of abortion.

In addition, moxibustion can also improve blood circulation, increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients, help improve the health of endometrium, and enhance the ability of embryo implantation.

4. Hospital practice and precautions

Moxibustion therapy has been widely used in reproductive health care in many hospitals in China. For example, gynaecological experts in the affiliated hospital of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine often combine moxibustion therapy to carry out individualized assisted reproductive treatment, and have achieved certain results.

However, although moxibustion has certain effects, the following points also need attention. First of all, moxibustion treatment should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors and should not be operated at home. Secondly, due to the different physical conditions of each person, the effect of moxibustion will also be different. Therefore, before moxibustion treatment, a comprehensive physical examination should be carried out and doctors' suggestions should be followed. *Later, the effect of moxibustion needs to be persisted for a long time, and combined with other fertility aids, such as nutrition conditioning, drug treatment, etc.

To sum up, moxibustion can improve the fertility of elderly women by regulating the reproductive system, endocrine system and immune system. However, moxibustion treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors and combined with individualized treatment scheme. Only by comprehensively considering different factors can we better improve the reproductive opportunities of elderly women.
