Pregnant women complicated with adenomyosis has low fertility, and most of them need assisted reproductive technology to conceive. The pregnant women with adenomyosis has the poor perinatal outcome, including an increased incedence of prete…
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH), also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone, is the main regulator of the reproductive system, acting on gonadotropic cells by binding to the GnRH1 receptor (GnRH1R). The GnRH-GnRH1R system is…
BackgroundAcupuncture is widely used for infertile women without undergoing assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in China but its effect is unclear. We aim to assess whether acupuncture and its combined therapy exert a positive influence …
