Acupuncture is believed to function by stimulating nerves, which has a beneficial effect on the release of neurotransmitters. Uncertain is the mechanism by which acupuncture relieves the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Existing studies on the efficacy of acupuncture are largely inconclusive and have certain limitations.
