Effect of Moxibustion Therapy on Fertility of Older Women

With the development of the times, more and more elderly women hope to realize their desire to have children. While seeking assisted reproductive methods, some women began to try traditional Chinese medicine therapies, such as moxibustion. This article will discuss the influence of moxibustion therapy on the fertility of elderly women from the aspects of age, physical state, ovarian function and psychological impact.

1. Age

For older women, age is one of the important factors that determine fertility. With the growth of women's age, the number and quality of eggs will gradually decline, thus affecting the chance of pregnancy. Moxibustion therapy is believed to improve the blood circulation of the reproductive system, improve ovarian function and egg quality. Some studies have shown that the elderly women who actively use moxibustion therapy have achieved a certain success rate in fertility. However, age is still a factor that cannot be ignored. Moxibustion therapy cannot completely reverse the aging of ovarian function.

However, in practice, many elderly women also use other assisted reproductive technologies, such as test tube babies or artificial insemination, when choosing moxibustion therapy. The comprehensive use of multiple methods can increase the chances for older women to achieve their reproductive aspirations.

2. Physical state

The physical state of elderly women plays an important role in the effect of moxibustion therapy. Moxibustion therapy promotes blood circulation and improves the internal environment of the uterus by regulating the balance of yin and yang in the body. However, if women have serious gynecological diseases or other chronic diseases, they need to be treated and recuperated before receiving moxibustion therapy. Moxibustion therapy can not replace the traditional medical treatment. Only on the basis of good physical condition can moxibustion therapy play a better role.

In addition, older women may be more prone to physical discomfort, such as fatigue, joint pain, etc. Therefore, when carrying out moxibustion therapy, it is necessary to select acupoints and different moxibustion methods suitable for oneself according to individual conditions. Only under the guidance of professional doctors can moxibustion therapy be safe and effective.

3. Ovarian function

For the elderly women, the evaluation of ovarian function is very important. Moxibustion therapy can promote follicular development and ovulation process by regulating endocrine system. Some studies have shown that moxibustion therapy has a positive effect on improving ovarian function and egg quality. However, these results need more large sample, randomized controlled clinical trials to confirm.

In addition, there are individual differences in the effect of moxibustion therapy. Some elderly women may be very sensitive to moxibustion therapy, which can rapidly regulate ovarian function, while others may need long-term treatment and maintenance to see the effect. Therefore, when using moxibustion therapy, it is necessary to formulate a reasonable treatment plan according to personal conditions and in combination with other assisted reproductive technologies.

4. Psychological influence

For the elderly women, mental health is one of the important conditions to realize their reproductive aspirations. As a traditional therapy, moxibustion has the function of warming body and mind, relieving pressure, and can help elderly women reduce anxiety and depression. Through the relaxation effect of moxibustion therapy, women can better accept various challenges and difficulties in the process of childbirth.

However, it should be noted that moxibustion therapy cannot solve all psychological problems. For some elderly women, they may need to seek professional psychological counseling or support to cope with emotional distress during childbirth.

summary

To sum up, moxibustion therapy has many effects on the fertility of elderly women. Although moxibustion therapy can improve ovarian function and egg quality, age, physical status, ovarian function, psychological influence and other factors will affect the effect of moxibustion therapy. Therefore, before attempting moxibustion therapy, elderly women need to conduct a comprehensive physical assessment and treat under the guidance of professional doctors. In addition, moxibustion therapy cannot completely replace the assisted reproductive technology of traditional medicine, and comprehensive use of multiple methods can help elderly women achieve their reproductive aspirations.
