One in six UK women suffer from female sexual dysfunction. Up to 40% of Americans are thought to have the condition. Some of these symptoms can be triggered by cancer or other serious conditions.

Experts from Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital Zaozhuang in Shandong said that it is unclear how acupuncture might boost libido. They speculated that the treatment was effective because it increased oestrogen. They speculated that the treatment may have been effective because it increased oestrogen. The six main aspects of their love lives were then questioned by Dr Jun tan Zhang and her colleagues. The total was their ‘female sex function index (FSFI). To assess whether acupuncture might have helped, the FSFI is a recognized way to measure how satisfying and pleasurable sex is for women. All the women experienced an improvement in their FSFI scores after the treatment. The average score increased from 18.5 to 26.3 — an improvement of 42 percent. The biggest improvements were in desire (54.6%), arousal (45.6%) and pain (33.1%). The smallest improvement was in sexual satisfaction, which saw a 35.7 percent increase. However, the team noted that only a small number of participants showed improvements to their “normal” FSFI domain scores. This indicates that the treatment may help, but not resolve these issues. The small sample size may have contributed to FSD participants showing significant improvement. The effective improvement rate could decrease as the sample size increases. Experts didn’t compare the results with a control group that was not given acupuncture. It is also not clear if the effectiveness of the treatment would be affected by larger trials.
