Abstract

Acupuncture is needling the anatomical point(s), which are self-contained pressure-sensitive and defined in advance as a definite, in skin for diagnosis and/or treatment of functional, reversible disease or disorders. Contrary to the growing momentum of interest in the world, though it does not lose its importance in our country, acupuncture is maintained its existence as a field that projects related to acupuncture find no much support, so the researchers did not investigate too much. Acupuncture treatment methods that do not require expensive technical equipment, qualified personnel and the long process of research, have many oppurtunities to provide major contributions to science and economics with the cheapest cost, a minimum side effects and easy application. In the structured literure review; many scientific studies dealing with improving effects of acupuncture on delay in wound healing and low sperm quality was determined, but it has not been observed any scientifically detailed review related to improving effects of acupuncture on diabetesinduced oxidative stress, delayed wound healing and low sperm quality. It is thought that this review will provide an important contribution in its field.
