Male infertility refers to the condition where a couple has been living together without using contraceptive measures for over 2 years without conceiving. The female partner's examination is normal, while the male partner's examination is abnormal. In cases where a couple has been living together for more than 2 years after marriage, without using contraceptive measures and have not conceived, the reasons may lie with the female partner or may be attributed to the male partner. The primary cause of male infertility is abnormal semen, which can be further classified into absence of sperm or oligospermia, poor sperm quality, low motility, and sperm deformities. Other causes include sexual dysfunction and genital organ deformities, such as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.

It is recommended to perform moxibustion once a day, targeting 2 to 3 acupoints each time, with each acupoint being treated for 30 to 40 minutes. Rotate the points treated, with a 10-day period constituting one course of treatment, and then rest for 2 to 3 days before continuing with the next course.
(If time permits and there is a need, more acupoints can be treated with moxibustion. The specific duration should be adjusted according to one's own physical needs.)
