World Health Organization on the use of acupuncture for infertility:
"Acupuncture was reported to be effective in the treatment of female anovular infertility…"
"Acupuncture is also worth trying in the treatment of female infertility due to inflammatory obstruction of the fallopian tubes, where it seems to be superior to conventional therapy with intrauterine injection of gentamicin, chymotrypsin and dexamethasone."
