Introduction: Infertility is a global issue referring to the inability to conceive after regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Oxidative stress is among the factors which can lead to inability in sperm production and male infertility. Inositol by reducing oxidative stress can aid in improving male fertility. This systematic review was conducted with aim to investigate the effects of inositol-containing supplements on sperm parameters and enhancing male fertility.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on databases including Magiran, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, SID, and Google Scholar using Persian and English keywords (infertility, inositol, male fertility, sperm motility, oligoasthenospermia) up to October 2024 with Boolean operators (AND and OR). Articles were selected and evaluated based on inclusion and exclusion criteria through evaluating title, abstract, and full-text.
Results: Out of 23492 identified articles, after reviewing the title and abstract, 192 articles were included in the study and 10 articles were selected for the final analysis. Data from studies conducted between 2015 and 2024, involving 778 participants, showed varied effects of inositol supplements across different categories of infertility. Significant improvements were observed in semen volume, total sperm count, progressive motility, and sperm concentration.
Conclusion: Inositol-containing supplements can be used as a management strategy for male infertility, so that they potentially improve sperm parameters. Further research is necessary to validate these findings and explore underlying mechanisms more comprehensively.
