In the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), the selection of the acupoints is focused on ren meridians and kidney meridians, often combining the acupoints at the distal ends of the extremities and abdomen. The results of the present research show that acupuncture is effective in the treatment of ED, especially functional ED, and conforms to the guidelines for providing comprehensive treatment but is limited by insufficient evidence.

Randomised Controlled Trial Date Fruit Female Fertility Male Fertility
The research employed a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial approach involving infertile couples who frequented infertility clinics in Iran in 2019. The intervention group was administered with a capsule of date palm, while the control group was given a placebo. The data on the sexual function of the subjects was gathered using the female sexual function index and the International Index of Erectile function.
All areas of sexual function in both males and females, which include erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, arousal, lubrication, and pain during intercourse, showed a significant enhancement in the group that consumed date palm in contrast to the control group. This study continued for a month and it demonstrated that date palm indeed has a favorable effect on the sexual functioning of infertile couples.

Randomised Controlled Trial Male Fertility
In a 14-week randomized controlled trial, 83 healthy males aged 18-35 with erectile function assessment were divided into two groups. One group was given a regular Western-style diet enriched with 60g per day of a mixed nuts (43 participants), while the other group followed the same diet but avoided nuts (40 participants). At the beginning and end of the intervention, participants filled out a 15-question survey from the validated International Index of Erectile Function, and levels of nitric oxide and E-selectin were measured to assess changes in erectile function.
Observing the impact of nut supplementation on sexual functionality showed that there was a significant increase in orgasmic function and sexual desire in the group that included nuts in their diet compared with the group that did not. Despite this, there were no appreciable differences in the peripheral concentrations of nitric oxide and E-selectin between the two groups.

Randomised Controlled Trial Honey Low Sperm Count Sperm Quality
This study employed a randomized controlled trial over 12 weeks, comparing the effects of Tualang honey (20 grams) and Tribestan (750 mg) on sperm parameters, erectile function, and hormonal profiles. Sperm concentration, motility, and morphology were assessed, along with erectile function using the IIEF-5 questionnaire. Testosterone, FSH, and LH levels were studied. Results from 66 participants revealed a significant increase in mean sperm concentration, motility, and morphology in the Tualang honey group, while the Tribestan group showed significant improvements in sperm concentration and morphology. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in sperm parameters, erectile function, and hormonal profiles. Safety profiles were normal with no reported adverse events.
The findings suggest that Tualang honey and Tribestan exhibit comparable effectiveness in enhancing sperm parameters, specifically concentration, motility, and morphology, among oligospermic males. Additionally, both interventions demonstrated similar effects on erectile function and hormonal profiles. The study concludes that Tualang honey is a safe alternative with no reported adverse events, highlighting its potential in addressing male reproductive health concerns.
