Increasing evidence indicates that DM adversely affects male reproductive health by impairing spermatogenesis, hormonal balance, and fertility, primarily through oxidative stress and metabolic disturbances. Conventional therapies remain essential but may not fully prevent long-term complications. Medicinal plants and their bioactive phytochemicals have gained attention due to their multi-targeted antidiabetic, antioxidant, and fertility-protective effects. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using major scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, to identify relevant studies on medicinal plants that ameliorate diabetes induced male reproductive dysfunctions. Findings from these database-indexed studies indicate that numerous medicinal plants and polyherbal formulations exhibit significant antidiabetic and fertility-protective effects, mainly through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and glycemic regulatory mechanisms. This review summarizes recent evidence on medicinal plants and polyherbal formulations that improve glycemic control and male reproductive functions in diabetic conditions, highlighting their therapeutic mechanisms and potential clinical relevance. 7 6 2026 174 189 1 10.31254/biomed-crossmark-policy www.biomedresearch.org false 10.31254/phyto.2026.15310 https://phytopharmajournal.com/articles/abstracts/919/year=2026&vol=15&issue=3
