At South Hobart Acupuncture we know that it takes two to tango on the path to parenthood. You need a healthy egg and uterine lining PLUS healthy s***m to make a baby.
Whether you’re planning to conceive soon, later, or just want to support your overall wellbeing, s***m health matters.
Here are some of the top tips we share with our patients when they're looking to optimise their s***m health.
🔬Semen Analysis - get your s***m tested and get these assessed by your practitioner.
🧪 Get a physical check-up - to rule out structural issues like varicocele.
🍆 Ej*****te regularly - ej*******on every 3 days (or so) means that your s***m turns over more regularly. This allows there to be more fresh s***m available during the fertile window.
😴 Prioritise sleep - at least 8 hours per night.
🏃♂️ Exercise regularly - move your body in an enjoyable way at least 4 days per week.
☕ Coffee - limit this to one per day.
🍺 Limit alcohol - or better yet, exclude it.
🚭 No smoking - or va**ng, or recreational drugs.
📵 Keep your mobile phone out of your pocket and don't cook your balls - keep your laptop off your lap, heated seats turned off and avoid the hot tub and sauna.
🧪 Reduce exposure to toxins - avoid plastics, chemicals and pesticides where possible.
And finally....acupuncture, herbal medicine and supplements - prescribed for you by degree-qualified, AHPRA-registered practitioners.
If you're thinking about conceiving, these little changes can make a big difference. Bookings can be made via the link in our bio or by phoning the clinic on 0408 402 512 during business hours. We can't wait to support you on your path to parenthood 💛
