	<abstract>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Times New Roman;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Objective: &lt;/b&gt;Male infertility is a significant global health concern influenced by various factors, including genetic disorders, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. Iranian traditional medicine, with its rich heritage, offers natural remedies particularly medicinal plants to address male infertility. Many of these plants are believed to enhance sperm quality, regulate hormones, and strengthen the male reproductive system. This review aims to examine key medicinal plants recommended in Iranian traditional medicine for treating male infertility.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Methodology: &lt;/b&gt;This narrative review was conducted by consulting primary texts and credible sources in Iranian traditional medicine to identify medicinal plants traditionally used for male infertility.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;The findings reveal a range of plants considered effective in traditional treatments of male infertility. These include &lt;i&gt;Tribulus terrestris &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Zingiber officinale &lt;/i&gt;Roscoe&lt;i&gt;, Juglans regia &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Prunus dulcis &lt;/i&gt;(Mill.) D.A.Webb,&lt;i&gt; Vitis vinifera &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Trigonella foenum-graecum &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Petroselinum crispum &lt;/i&gt;(Mill.) Fuss&lt;i&gt;, Allium sativum &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Matricaria chamomilla &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Crocus sativus &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Portulaca oleracea &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Origanum majorana &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Daucus carota &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Rubus idaeus &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Prunus avium &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Trifolium pratense &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Vitex agnus-castus &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Phaseolus vulgaris &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Vicia faba &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Glycine max &lt;/i&gt;(L.) Merr&lt;i&gt;., Apium graveolens &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Spinacia oleracea &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Camellia sinensis &lt;/i&gt;(L.) Kuntze&lt;i&gt;, Urtica dioica &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Musa spp. &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;., Allium cepa &lt;/i&gt;L&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;. Each plant is noted for its potential role in improving reproductive health through various mechanisms.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/b&gt;Medicinal plants in Iranian traditional medicine hold promise as complementary therapies alongside modern medical treatments for male infertility. However, further scientific research is essential to confirm their efficacy, safety, and to develop standardized therapeutic protocols.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;
