Infertility is a complex condition caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Recent advances in epigenetics have highlighted the importance of epigenetic changes in fertility regulation. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in infertility, with a focus on DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNAs. We investigate the specific epigenetic events that occur during gametogenesis, with a focus on spermatogenesis and oogenesis as distinct processes. Furthermore, we investigate how environmental factors such as diet, stress, and toxin exposure can influence these epigenetic changes, potentially leading to infertility. The second part of the review explores epigenetic changes as therapeutic targets for infertility. Emerging therapies that modulate epigenetic marks present promising opportunities for fertility restoration, particularly in spermatogenesis. By summarizing current research findings, this review emphasizes the importance of understanding epigenetic contributions to infertility. Our discussion aims to lay the groundwork for future research directions and clinical applications in reproductive health.
