It is estimated that there are over 5 million infertile couples in the United States today. Infertility is defined as the inability to conceive after 12 months of unprotected sexual intercourse. Approximately 58% of infertility is due to female infertility, 25% due to male infertility, and 17% due to unexplained infertility.
There are many factors including amenorrhea/ovulatory dysfunction, tubal defects, endometriosis, hypothalamic/pituitary causes, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, and others that cause infertility.
Other causes of infertility include
- Hypothyroid conditions
- Hyper-coagulation disorders
- Environmental exposures and toxicity
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Hormone imbalances

Infertility and Infertility Acupuncture
Studies suggest that acupuncture works for the treatment of infertility. One study looked at 160 women undergoing IVF, half received acupuncture along with IVF, and the other half who received IVF alone. They found pregnancy rates among the women undergoing acupuncture were significantly higher.
