In which area is hijama applied for infertility?
Hijama application is made with objects called mugs or glasses made of bamboo, glass or similar materials. It is a procedure that can be done to anyone, male or female, and regardless of age group, whom doctors deem appropriate. In male infertility, cupping is a method that can be applied and is often preferred. This method, which can be used for infertility treatment if there is a doctor’s advice and guidance, is applied to the lumbar region. With the cupping treatment applied to this area, it is aimed to increase the blood in the area. Cupping for infertility aims to relax the veins by increasing the oxide synthesis by the cuts made by the scratches made according to the cups placed in the waist area. In this way, the rate of blood in the area increases. Male patients are recommended to have this procedure in consultation with their doctor in case of infertility problems.

Then, at least five cups are placed in the waist area and kept in this area for a few minutes. The incision is then made to allow the blood to flow. In men, hijama is mostly preferred for sexual problems and infertility.
