This intricate issue affects millions of people around the world, and men are often left feeling hopeless and disappointed. I will take a look at male infertility in males, its etiological items as well as the holistic approach homeopathy has to treat infertility and improve the whole body.
Epidemiology
Male incompetence is a very important aspect of the reproductive health of the world, nearly one in six couples are facing it. Their information suggests that the diseases whose etiologies are male factors are responsible for about fifty percent, either alone or with female factors.
Indian Epidemiology
The situation of male infertility is alarming especially in India. The findings of new research conducted in this country reveal that almost 30 million Indian couples have to face infertility issues, which are contributed to by male cases with about 50%. The remarkable rise of male reproductive issues in cities is very disturbing; it is possibly because of life style changes, and environmental pollutants.

10 Homeopathic Medicines for Male Infertility
1. Agnus Castus
Agnus Castus has been mostly helpful for men with low libido and general condition and impotence; it's also effective for those who are losing their semen too fast, those who are impotent, and have no libido or masculinity at all. Moreover, if there is a feeling of coldness in the genitals, this is also a beneficial aspect of its use.
2. Lycopodium
Lycopodium is one of the most common medicines I prescribe to men with erectile dysfunction and/or performance anxiety. It's a supplementation that may reduce such problems and it is especially useful for such as having the desire for sex but lacking the performance, and it is also normal that fart accumulates during the erectile process of which reliever should be given.
3. Selenium
Selenium is the perceived best drug regardless of the physical or mental tiredness. This drug, according to my experience, has bordered despondency and mental fatigue leading that culminate in sexual ailments. It's also a good supplement for those who involuntary lose some of their sperm from the semen apart from others.
4. Caladium
Caladium has been for men with impotence, especially in cases of total erection failure even where a desire and sexual need are present. It is also beneficial for those with genital sweating.
5. Conium Maculatum
Conium Maculatum is for older men with hard testicles or very little sexual desire because of a history of suppressing sexuality. Also, the stuttering vertigo that goes hand in hand with shrinking sex energy can be addressed with it.
6. Nux Vomica
I usually advise men to take Nux Vomica as a cure for infertility caused by alcohol abuse, stress, or overwork. This way it additionally helps those with anger that often leads to digestive problems aside from sexual weakness.
7. Acid Phos
The variation in my experience of putting this drug into practice has resulted in some patients' regaining their lost libido or sexual juice for bouncing back their life. Since it all comes short in giving some description to the mental exertion or grief, we must say that those sips during driving are restricted to the amount that is thin and watery.
8. Staphysagria
Staphysagria, a homeopathic medicine I found to be effective in the cases of suppressed emotions mostly related to the past and sexual abuse. It's useful especially in those who simultaneously struggle with urinary tract infections, a problem that is one more of the examples of having sexual issues.
9. Thuja Occidentalis
Thuja Occidentalis has proven successful in treating genital warts and STDs which affect men's fertility in my practice, in contrast to those who limit their "health discussion" to mental health alone. Another patient is disturbed by her body as well, she finds the information for it - might even think she is perfectly healthy - hard to recognize.
10. Damiana
Damiana is my most recommended herbal medicine for sexual issues and low sperm count in adults, both sexes. It is not that the people are getting worse and worse, but rather, it is that they are living too much emotionally and mentally; as a result, there the no else that has been equally problematic.
