One of the main factors is hormonal disorders due to disturbances in the pituitary-hypothalamic-testicular axis in regulating gonadotropin hormone levels. This condition affects sperm formation so that sperm production and testosterone hormone levels decrease. As a result, a fertility disorder called hypogonadism arises.
To treat infertility problems such as hypogonadism, there are natural flora and fauna ingredients that have the potential to be used as medicine.
Natural ingredients have chemical diversity that is superior to synthetic ingredients because they contain secondary metabolites that provide pharmacological, therapeutic, antioxidant and antibacterial effects.
The natural ingredients that are useful for overcoming fertility problems in the male reproductive system are Javanese Chilies and Seahorses.
