Rating (out of 5): 1

Neem (Azadirachta indica) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, including applications related to male reproductive health. In traditional contexts, neem has been used as a natural contraceptive and for promoting genitourinary health due to its purported antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Classical Ayurvedic texts mention neem for “purifying the blood” and managing infections, which may indirectly support aspects of reproductive health.

However, scientific validation for neem’s direct benefits to the male reproductive system is limited and mixed. Some animal studies suggest that neem extracts can have spermicidal effects or reduce fertility, which has led to its investigation as a potential male contraceptive. For example, certain rodent studies show reduced sperm counts and motility following neem administration. However, these effects are not consistently beneficial to reproductive health—rather, they suggest antifertility potential. Human studies in this area are sparse, and the safety, efficacy, and reversibility of neem’s effects on male fertility have not been well characterized. There is insufficient clinical evidence supporting neem for enhancing or supporting male reproductive function in the context of fertility, hormone balance, or sexual performance.

In summary, neem’s use for the male reproductive system is primarily rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. The available scientific data is limited and does not strongly support its use for reproductive support, especially for those seeking to enhance fertility.
