How Acupuncture May Work In Impotence
- The levels of sex hormones in the body can be changed by the hypothalamus-hypophysis-testes.
Also, research done on this subject has shown that hormonal systems, in general, are also affected by acupuncture. Precisely, the reports say that in a Chinese study done in the year 2000 on 69 men, the serum testosterone levels considerably increased by a factor. This was nearly about four times, and all of these men were suffering from functional impotence. Furthermore, oestradiol levels decreased by nearly a third of the original, while prolactin also decreased to about a quarter level. These all helped in the treatment of impotence.
- This is also functions by the regulation of the ANS (autonomic nervous system). It must be noted that that this is the cause of the most impotency cases.
Look out for any symptoms of over-nervousness, over-sweating, temperature imbalance, poor sleep, insomnia or palpitations. The technique is a flexible one, and can be adjusted to speed up or even slow down depending on the functioning of the physiological processes of a person. No substantial proof has been found out about the effect of ANS on other physiological processes.
- The sacral points may cause stimulation of the pudendal nerve. This is a direct approach and the innervations of the reproductive organs may be affected too. This is because these organs are connected to the sacral section of the spinal cord.
- Local points located in the groins significantly improve the blood circulation in the genitals.
There are also reports about a Japanese medical practitioner who uses a special diode ring to wrap it around the penis. This ring produces minute electrical charges that further stimulate the circulation.
