Do men really go to acupuncturists?

Yes, and in France they often come for back pain, headaches, sleep and stress rather than for fertility. The imbalance is mostly in advertising, which targets women, not in who can benefit. A practitioner asks the same questions and uses the same technique regardless of sex.

Is acupuncture useful for men's problems?

It is studied mainly for pain and for nausea, not for prostate disease or testosterone. Some men seek help with urinary urgency or exhaustion alongside medical care, and the evidence there is limited. Anything involving the prostate needs a doctor first, whatever complementary care you also choose.

Why is acupuncture marketed to women?

Because the wellness market found women more willing to pay for preventive care and more likely to discuss sleep, mood and digestion. Clinics followed the demand. That commercial history says nothing about the physiology of needling, which does not differ between men and women in any documented way.
