Summary
There is significant data supporting the idea that acupuncture can improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes. It is no longer considered fringe science and has been supported by clinical trials. Acupuncture can impact hormones, improve blood flow, and affect the health of reproductive tissues. In females, acupuncture can help balance hormones, regulate FSH levels, improve blood flow, and enhance the health of the ovary. In males, acupuncture can improve semen volume, sperm quality, sperm motility, and increase levels of testosterone and other hormones necessary for healthy sperm production.
