can st. johns wort impact sexuality or fertility or sperm
hi all,
just need to get the general idea here, after taking it for a few days (and I am fairly sure it's that) i have random tecticle pain, kinda like the equivalent of eating spicy foods and the pain on the stomach lining but it's direct ball pain. after reading about it online there's no mention on fertility but there is some of like "sperm quality" and that. it could literally be spicy food though i did have some last night, but i had none the previous night, and I still had ache. if it's benign pain ok but I am concerned about longer effects. just wondering if anyone knows/or if it's been studied thanks.

If you want to get into the weeds of any herb you'll need to go further than the Google machine, which is gamed and only prints what is gamed unless you go into it 50 pages. There are many books on the use of herbs. Herbalists are good sources of information. There is a trade association you can contact for sources of info. All that being said, I don't know of any such side effect. Keep in mind you seem highly focused on your genitalia, and when you do that, you can think yourself into things that might not be there otherwise, but my not knowing that's a side effect doesn't mean it can't ever be. The biggest warning about this herb is sun sensitivity. But again, there are many really good herbals out there that discuss in some detail. There are books just on St. John's Wort, as it's such a commonly used herb.
