Protocol for the management of infertile couples with catgut implantation in acupuncture points
Keywords:
PROTOCOLS, INFERTILITY, MALE, FEMALE, IMPLANTATION, CATGUT.Abstract
Introduction: in women, the most important immediate finding in infertility studies is the nonexistence of ovulation and although there are alternatives in their treatment, they are still ineffective due to diagnostic and therapeutic limitations. In male causes, idiopathic alterations in semen quality predominate, the most frequent being asthenozoospermia and oligozoospermia associated with the diagnosis of varicocele. The reasons why fertility potential is not always improved after timely and adequate surgical treatment of varicocele are still under study, and the proposed conventional treatments are expensive and not always effective.
Objective: to elaborate a protocol for the management of the infertile couples with catgut implantation in acupuncture points.
Methods: topics regarding this protocol were analyzed on the care of women with anovulatory cycles and infertile men after surgical treatment of varicocele along with idiopathic infertility as well as the proposed traditional treatments, generating scientific questions to draw up the protocol.
Results: the protocol for the management of infertile couples with implantation of catgut in acupuncture points includes: professionals to whom it is directed, target population, necessary resources, teamwork, role of team members, sequence of action, approach for its implementation, advantages, disadvantages and contraindications concerning the implantation of catgut, differentiation and treatment in each case according to the traditional Chinese diagnosis and assessment indicators.
Conclusions: the proposed therapeutic modality is an innocuous and inexpensive alternative that contributes to the improvement of fertility and birth rate in the infertile couples.
