Why it matters
Addressing medical misinformation is vital for public health, especially when social media users promote unverified treatments for fertility issues.

Claim: A Facebook user claimed that a mixture of waterleaf and milk can fix men’s low sperm count problem.
Verdict: False. No scientific evidence shows that waterleaf cures low sperm count. Available research is limited to animal studies, and no human clinical trial has established that waterleaf improves sperm count or male fertility.
The topic of fertility is usually women-dominated as compared to men, but scientific research has shown clearly that it could also be the problem of the man, or both parties, rather than just the woman.
