Withania sominifera could potentially supplement routine treatment of male infertility.
A B S T R A C T To manage male infertility caused by hormonal imbalance, infections and other predicaments, multifarious treatment strategies are emerging worldwide. The beneficial effects induced by oral intake of the roots of a small evergreen shrub, Withania sominifera Ashwagandha on semen quality of infertile men have previously been studied.
Oral intake of Ashwagandha roots has been found to inhibit lipid peroxidation, improve sperm count and motility, and regulate reproductive hormone levels. The molecular mechanisms of these effects, however, are yet to be unveiled. Hormonal regulation.

Testicular Heat Stress and Sperm Quality more. Male Infertility. Contemporary and future insights into fertility preservation in male cancer patients more. In recent years, survival rates of cancer patients have increased, resulting in a shift of focus from quantity to quality of life.
A key aspect of quality of life is fertility potential; patients suffering from iatrogenic infertility A key aspect of quality of life is fertility potential; patients suffering from iatrogenic infertility often become depressed. Currently, the only reliable method of male fertility preservation is sperm banking. For patients who are unable to provide semen samples by the conventional method of masturbation, there are other techniques such as electroejaculation, microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration and testicular sperm extraction that can be employed.
Unfortunately, it is presently impossible to preserve the fertility potential of pre-pubertal patients. Due to the increasing numbers of adolescent cancer patients surviving treatment, extensive research is being conducted into several possible methods such as testicular tissue cryopreservation, xenografting, in vitro gamete maturation and even the creation of artificial gametes.
However, in spite of its ease, safety, convenience and many accompanying benefits, sperm banking remains underutilized in cancer patients. There are several barriers involved such as the lack of information and the urgency to begin treatment, but various measures can be put in place to overcome these barriers so that sperm banking can be more widely utilized.

Characterizing semen parameters and their association with reactive oxygen species in infertile men more. Background: A routine semen analysis is a first step in the laboratory evaluation of the infertile male. In addition, other tests such as measurement of reactive oxygen species can provide additional information regarding the etiology of Reproductive technology.
Reproductive Techniques, Assisted. Antioxidants -- therapeutic use. Reproductive Medicine. Summary This book discusses the various antioxidants that are in use to overcome oxidative stress in an assisted reproduction setting. Antioxidant therapies may range from enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, either alone or in combination. While no one antioxidant regime has been identified as effective in improving fertilization and pregnancy rates, antioxidant supplementation has been shown to defend sperm cells from lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage to DNA, and thus improve pregnancy rates.
The prevention of oxidative stress and its consequent damage is imperative to ensure a successful outcome of the in vitro fertilization procedure and embryo transfer. Strategies that could be employed to minimize or prevent the detrimental effects of OS during assisted reproduction include supplementation with various types of antioxidants.
