An Analysis of Medicinal Plants in the Management of Male Infertility
Abstract
Infertility, coupled with issues related to sexual dysfunction, has long been a pressing global concern, affecting approximately 15% of couples. Interestingly, males shoulder the sole responsibility, which results in 20–30% of cases of fertility problems. Current strategies to tackle infertility often come at a substantial financial cost and carry the risk of various enduring adverse effects. The causes of male infertility span a broad spectrum, encompassing both quantitative and qualitative declines in semen quality. What has consistently piqued the interest of both medical professionals and researchers is the utilisation of herbal remedies, which possess a firmly established scientific basis for combating infertility. This review is dedicated to exploring the medicinal plants that have been documented in ancient texts and have since garnered scientific validation. These plants have demonstrated their effectiveness in enhancing male reproductive health and are recommended for addressing male infertility.
