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.
全球约8% - 12%的夫妇受不孕症影响，其中男性因素导致的病例约占40%。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，这两种情况占病例总数的90%以上。这些问题通常由解剖学、激素或基因异常引起。本综述聚焦于常用于治疗勃起功能障碍的天然壮阳草药，提供有关其植物特征、代谢途径、推荐剂量、植物化学特性、副作用、产地及传统用途的详细信息。它还回顾了近期关于能增强性欲和治疗泌尿系统疾病的草药的研究。通过汇总过去十年的可靠研究结果，该研究旨在为应对性健康问题的个人提供全面的资源。通过对每种草药的仔细评估，它深入探讨了其有效性和局限性，强调了天然疗法作为男性不育及相关病症传统疗法补充替代方案的潜力。
