These findings suggested that CoQ10 pretreatment is an effective intervention in improving IVF/ICSI outcomes for women with DOR. Still, this meta-analysis included relatively limited sample sizes with poor descriptions of their methodologies. Rigorously conducted trials are needed in the future.

Tadalafil shares a similar efficacy and safety with sildenafil and significantly improves patients' sexual confidence. Furthermore, patients and their partners prefer tadalafil to sildenafil. Hence, tadalafil may be a better choice for ED treatment.
