Research Progress on the Mechanism of Icariin in the Treatment of Male Infertility

Fangfang Li, Xuefei Chen

Abstract


This article delves into the mechanism of action of icariin as a potential drug for treating male infertility. Male infertility is a common problem that aff ects reproductive health, involving complex reproductive system mechanisms and multiple causes. By exploring multiple aspects such as reproductive gene regulation, androgen regulation, antioxidant and anti-infl ammatory eff ects, this article reveals multiple pathways of icariin in improving male fertility. Clinical research results show that icariin treatment can improve sperm count, motility, and morphology, which has a positive impact on the reproductive system of male infertility patients. The rise of personalized treatment strategies has provided precise directions for the application of icariin, developing treatment plans based on the patient’s etiology and characteristics, improving effi cacy, and deeply analyzing the mechanism of icariin’s role in the treatment of male infertility, providing more accurate and eff ective medical support for patients, in order to increase the chances of successful fertility.
