Background failure to conceive within a year of frequent, unprotected sexual activity is known as infertility, and a variety of conditions or unexplained causes can cause it. A common non-pharmacological therapy approach, acupuncture is essential to complementary and alternative medicine. Acupuncture may enhance the reproductive system's function and regulate the body's hormones by stimulating specific acupoints. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. This study aims to identify conservative acupuncture treatment for infertility causes because there is no clear summary of acupuncture and infertility with different infertility issues in Asia. A comprehensive search was performed across several databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar. The search was limited to studies published between 2019 and 2024 that were written in the English language. Infertility in both men and women can be improved with acupuncture treatment. By stimulating specific acupuncture points, acupuncture may better regulate the body's hormones and enhance the function of the reproductive system. For both men and women, acupuncture therapy can aid with infertility.
