The first book to take an integrative approach to the treatment of male infertility issues, this easily digestible guide uses graphics and visual aids to help explain key concepts in diagnosis, anatomy and treatment from a Western and Chinese medicine perspective.
Dr Olivia Pojer, a Western medical doctor and Chinese medicine practitioner, uses a dual approach to the largely unexplored treatment of male infertility. The book covers common causes of the topic, the microbiome of the testes, and how to encourage better sperm production. It also includes chapters on nutraceuticals and laser therapy, as well as herbal formulas and acupuncture protocols to implement in clinical practice, along with Chinese medical lifestyle and nutrition.
Addressing the so-called male factor in reproduction and its underrepresentation in treatment, this book provides a complete overview for acupuncturists and Chinese medicine practitioners treating male infertility issues.

A must read book for all fertility experts, especially acupuncturists who want to join Team Sperm. Dr. Olivia Pojer has provided us with an integrative road map to address the contributing factor of fifty percent of couple's infertility, which is male factor infertility. Olivia's 'bag of tricks' of acupuncture and herbal treatments will not only help address half the equation for infertility, but equally important, will help set the health blueprint (Prenatal Essence) for the future child. Finally a book that gives readers the confidence to educate the public and reach out to IVF clinics on how men contribute to unexplained infertility and miscarriages and why acupuncture, herbs, lifestyle and supplements need to be included in their fertility treatments.

Finally! I am thrilled we now have Olivia Pojer's extraordinary text to guide us in our clinical practice. This easy-to-read book successfully bridges Western physiology with Western nutrition, acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. It is the must-have andrology text if you work in the area of fertility support, irrespective of your clinical experience.
