Abstract

About 15% of couples experience infertility. About 45%–50% of infertility is due to male infertility issues, and globally about 7% of men are identified as infertile. Oxidative stress is a significant contributor to male subfertility and infertility. Mechanisms such as defective sperm function, exposure to environmental toxins, and genetic factors contribute to oxidative stress in males. Therapeutic interventions such as antioxidant supplementation and lifestyle modifications may help reduce oxidative stress and improve fertility outcomes.
