Acupuncture may help men with Infertility issues

A study published in the July 2005 issue of the journal Fertility and Sterility found that acupuncture helped infertile men by apparently helping improve sperm quality in their semen.

In the research project, 28 men received acupuncture in addition to traditional infertility treatments, while another 12 men received only the traditional treatments. All of the men were diagnosed with infertility of unknown origin. 

Acupuncture was associated with fewer structural defects in the sperm of men who received it.  Previous studies have also shown a link between acupuncture and improved sperm production and motility.
