Success of acupuncture treatment in patients with initially low sperm output is associated with a decrease in scrotal skin temperature.

Poor spermatogenesis in patients with inflammation of the genital tract is associated with scrotal hyperthermia. These patients can benefit from acupuncture treatment. We conducted a study to verify whether the influence of acupuncture treatment on sperm output in patients with low sperm density is associated with a decrease in scrotal temperature.

Does acupuncture treatment affect sperm density in males with very low sperm count? A pilot study.

Classic therapies are usually ineffective in the treatment of patients with very poor sperm density. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of acupuncture on these males. Semen samples of 20 patients with a history of azoospermia were examined by light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), with which a microsearch for spermatozoa was carried out.

Effect of acupuncture on sperm parameters of males suffering from subfertility related to low sperm quality.

The aim of this prospective controlled study was to assess the effect of acupuncture on the sperm quality of males suffering from subfertility related to sperm impairment. Semen samples of 16 acupuncture-treated subfertile patients were analyzed before and 1 month after treatment (twice a week for 5 weeks). In parallel, semen samples of 16 control untreated subfertile males were examined.

[The diagnostic value of simultaneous excretory urography and transuterine pelvic phlebography in a urodynamic study of the upper urinary tract].

A total of 78 females whose complaints failed to fit the scope of known urological and gynecological disorders were under study. Beside the routine patterns, the multiple modality diagnostic technique included radionuclide investigation of the kidneys, determination of the hormonal profile, thermographic examination of inner genital organs, echo scanning of the kidneys and genital organs, hysterosalpingography, simultaneous performance of excretory urography and transuterine pelvic phlebography. X-ray anatomical examinations revealed that the lower part of the ureter was entangled by vaginouterine veins.
