You can do anything you want after a treatment. If you want to increase the positive effect of the treatment you should avoid alcohol and other recreational drugs for the rest of the day as they might obscure the efficacy of the treatment. You should also avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating (including sexual activity) after a treatment. Rest, gentle exercise (stretching, walking) and good hydration all help. Yvonne R.

Male infertility can be cause by too many different things to answer this question. There are some conditions that acupuncture cannot improve. Acupuncture can improve sperm parameters, including count, morphology and motility. It can also improve sexual function and libido.
When you combine acupuncture with Chinese herbal formulas there are even more conditions affecting fertility that may be improved.
When you see an acupuncturist for fertility it is important to bring your lab work and medical diagnosis. This will help the acupuncturist to create a treatment plan. They will tell you what they can improve and what they can't. It takes at least 3 months of treatment, sometimes more to change sperm parameters.

The effects of acupuncture vary from patient to patient. Results can last anywhere from 24 hours to permanent resolution. The factors that influence how long results last include:

I don't really have a satisfying answer for that question because acupuncture can work immediately, or it can take a while. How long it takes depends on how long you have had the condition, how bad the condition is, and how strong your constitution is. Rule of thumb is: the longer you have had something the longer it takes to restore balance and relieve suffering.

When you are anxious do you feel it in your head, chest, diaphragm, abdomen? Is it accompanied by depression or panic attacks? What makes it better or worse? All these things and more help to define the pattern of imbalance and then points are chosen for that pattern.
