dc.description.abstractObjectives: Fertility treatment in low-resource settings has employed phytochemicals, particularly for males with abnormal semen parameters. This is particularly so because of the high cost of assisted reproductive techniques. Herbs are considered safe, effective, cheap, and easily accessible when compared to the other methods. These herbs have different mechanisms of action depending on the activity of the phytonutrient. The study aims to carry out an updated analysis of the leading fertility-enhancing herbs in the low-resource settings of Africa and point out important gaps that may enhance their optimal and practical use. Methods: A number of basic research work and clinical trials conducted within the last two decades were collated and reviewed. Studies employing phytonutrients to enhance male fertility were carefully selected. Results/Conclusions: Over twenty herbs were identified, and about eight pathways have been discovered for managing infertility using traditional African herbs. While many herbs utilize a combination of pathways, some rely on a single path in their mechanism of action. This thorough analysis of the potential of male fertility-enhancing herbs in low-resource settings provides a robust foundation for further research and practical application.
