ConclusionScientific evidence supports the use of mucuna and ashwagandha as phytotherapics for improving serum T concentrations and semen parameters. Despite inconclusive evidence for use of tribulus as a T booster, it may provide advantageous effects on sperm parameters in men with idiopathic infertility. Nutraceutical strategies and some phytotherapics may also be effective to promote prostate health. Popular foodstuffs (onion, garlic, and tomato), nutraceutical agents (pollen extract and beta-sitosterols), and herbal medicines (Pygeum africanum and Urtica dioica) are rational approaches.Graphical abstract

Introduction: Submucous myomas and intramural myomas which protrude in the endometrial cavity affect a significant proportion of reproductive age women and may cause excessive menstrual bleeding and adverse reproductive outcomes. Hysteroscopic myomectomy by means of resectoscopic removal is considered the golden standard for their treatment. However, it may cause significant damage to endometrial line leading to the formation of endometrial synechiae and possible infertility. Moreover, the hysteroscopic approach does not permit always complete removal of the fibroid; thus, resulting in recurrences.
