Abstract

Infertility affects 8-12% of couples globally, with male factors contributing to around 40% of cases. Common male infertility issues include erectile dysfunction (ED) and low sperm count or quality, which account for over 90% of cases. These problems often result from anatomical, hormonal, or genetic abnormalities. This review focuses on natural aphrodisiac herbs commonly used to address ED, providing detailed information on their botanical characteristics, metabolic pathways, recommended dosages, phytochemical properties, side effects, origins, and traditional uses. It also reviews recent studies on medicinal herbs that boost sexual desire and treat urological conditions. By compiling reliable findings from the past decade, the study aims to serve as a comprehensive resource for individuals dealing with sexual health issues. Through careful evaluation of each herb, it offers insights into their effectiveness and limitations, emphasizing the potential of natural treatments as complementary alternatives to conventional therapies for male infertility and related conditions.

探索天然草药：它们在治疗男性不育、提高性欲和解决泌尿系统疾病方面的作用。

全球有 8-12% 的夫妇患有不育症，其中约 40% 的病例与男性因素有关。常见的男性不育问题包括勃起功能障碍（ED）和精子数量或质量低下，这两种情况占 90% 以上。这些问题通常是由解剖学、荷尔蒙或遗传异常造成的。本综述重点介绍常用于治疗 ED 的天然壮阳草药，详细介绍其植物特性、代谢途径、推荐剂量、植物化学特性、副作用、起源和传统用途。该书还回顾了有关提高性欲和治疗泌尿系统疾病的药草的最新研究。通过汇编过去十年的可靠研究结果，该研究旨在为个人处理性健康问题提供全面的资源。通过对每种草药的仔细评估，该书深入探讨了它们的有效性和局限性，强调了自然疗法作为常规疗法的补充替代品治疗男性不育症和相关疾病的潜力。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
