Fertility management deals with both control of fertility as well as treatment of infertility of male and female partners. Ancient literature mentions the use of several plants/preparations for fertility management in humans. Many indigenous plants described in Ayurvedic and Unani texts have been used not only to control the fertility of humans but also to treat dysfunction of reproductive organs and sexual appearances. This could be because plant-based remedies are cheap, effective, and free from unwanted side effects. Further, their use ensure protection of privacy of the couple. Therefore, in this review, we have summarized most of the information dealing with the impact of plant-based drugs on male reproductive function, and their role in male fertility management.
