"Acupuncture requires placing very thin needles at specific points on the body to try to manage pain and reduce stress. In fertility treatments, acupuncture is estimated to increase blood flow to the uterus, relax the cervix and prevents the emergence of stress hormones that can make the uterus more hard for the embryo to stick to, "said Eric Manheimer, the leader of this analysis and a researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
However, a surprising discovery is still not proven, and new theories just how and why acupuncture might work. However, some fertility specialists say they are hopeful that this method is inexpensive and simple treatment may ultimately prove its usefulness in addition to traditional methods.
Although without proof, but according to Dr. William Gibbons, who runs a fertility clinic in Baton Rouge, Los Angeles, said no problem to try it out and will be dealt with more seriously. In addition, more doctors are trained for it.
This analysis led by Eric Manheimer was funded by the federal agency, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The result was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

Women randomly assigned to receive self insemination, insemination with acupuncture during the planting day embryo, or insemination plus fake acupuncture, needles are placed too shallowly or in a place that has no effect.
Individually, only three of the studies that found benefit from acupuncture, three showed a tendency to gain, and one found no benefit. When the results of smaller studies dipolingkan, the researchers found pregnancy increases to 65% for women given acupuncture.
But a study led by Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, director of infertility treatment at New York-Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medical Center, the report did not find acupuncture to help with pregnancy. Even so, he added that acupuncture is not dangerous.
Dr. Ann Trevino, a 37-year-old family doctor, who also is pregnant trust the efficacy of acupuncture. He has three times failed pregnancy by using artificial insemination before trying acupuncture.
"I've read about acupuncture, probably like everyone else on the internet. I'm just trying to do everything possible to improve our chances," he said. "With acupuncture, I felt very warm and relaxed, when the embryo in the insert."
