Effect of Moxibustion on Elderly Fertility

With the development of society and the progress of medical technology, people's life expectancy is also increasing. However, the phenomenon of late marriage and late childbearing is also increasingly common, and the elderly childbearing has become a global problem. Acupuncture and moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, is believed to be helpful to the elderly childbearing. One of the most popular acupuncture treatments is moxibustion. However, whether moxibustion can really solve the problem of elder childbearing still needs in-depth research.

stimulate the circulation of blood

Moxibustion, as a therapy, produces effects by stimulating the skin with the heat generated by burning moxa sticks. The main function of moxibustion is to promote blood circulation and increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all parts of the body through warm stimulation. For elderly pregnant women, moxibustion may help improve uterine blood circulation and endometrial thickness to some extent, thus improving the chance of pregnancy.

Experts say that moxibustion therapy can improve blood circulation by stimulating the meridians. However, whether moxibustion can really solve the problem of elderly fertility still needs to be confirmed through clinical experiments.

Regulate endocrine balance

The imbalance of female hormone level is one of the main reasons for elder childbearing. Moxibustion is believed to help elderly pregnant women increase their chances of pregnancy by regulating the endocrine system. It is said that moxibustion can stimulate the nervous system, thereby regulating the hypothalamus pituitary gonad axis and promoting the recovery of ovarian function.

Although some clinical observation studies show that moxibustion can regulate the endocrine system of women to a certain extent, these results still lack statistical support. Therefore, further scientific research is needed to verify whether moxibustion has a practical effect on regulating endocrine balance.

Relieve stress and anxiety

Stress and anxiety are another important factor leading to fertility problems in the elderly. For couples who want to get pregnant, anxiety and stress may affect the normal function of the reproductive system. Moxibustion is believed to relieve stress and anxiety by stimulating the body's acupoints, and create a good internal environment to improve the chance of pregnancy.

However, stress and anxiety are complex psychological problems that cannot be solved completely by traditional therapies such as moxibustion. At the same time, comprehensive treatment methods such as stress management and psychological counseling may be more effective.

Summary

Although moxibustion, as a traditional Chinese medicine therapy, plays a certain role in promoting blood circulation, regulating endocrine balance, and relieving stress and anxiety, whether it can truly solve the problem of elderly fertility still needs more research support. The problem of elderly childbearing is a comprehensive problem, which needs to consider many factors, including reproductive health, lifestyle, etc. Therefore, when choosing suitable treatment methods, we should consider the advantages of traditional therapy and modern medicine, seek the advice of professional doctors, and make decisions according to our own conditions.
