A vast array of disease can be effectively cured with acupuncture.  Be it peptic ulcer, leucopenia , blood disorders , urogenital disorders , gynecological  and obstetric disorders, primary dysmenorrheal , etc. are among the various conditions  in which acupuncture has been found to be very effective.

Acupuncture provides satisfactory relief of epigastria pain –significantly better than injections, as shown in the randomized controlled trials. Another common symptom of digestive disorders is nausea and vomiting.  It is more often a symptom or sign of generalized disorders. Irritable colon syndrome and chronic ulcerative colitis are often difficult to treat with conventional medication.

Urinary retention due to functional disorders and organic obstruction is often treated with acupuncture. The efficacy of acupuncture is remarkably superior to that of intramuscular injection. The beneficial effect of acupuncture on this condition relieves pain and also regulates the motility of the uterus to facilitate menstrual discharge and further alleviate the pain. Primary dysmenorrheal, a painful condition, is one of the major indications for acupuncture in the field of gynecological disorders. Acupuncture was reported to be effective in the treatment of female an ovular infertility. Electric acupuncture with relative specificity of acupuncture points could influence some genetic expression in the brain, thereby normalizing the secretion of certain hormones.

In early pregnancy, acupuncture at upper limb points can prevent and treat morning sickness. Acupuncture stimulates milk secretion after child birth and can be used to treat deficient lactation due to the mental liability or depression.  Acupuncture augments the blood prolactin level in women with deficient milk secretion after child birth.
