Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of selenium-enriched garlic on patients with oligoasthenospermia.Methods From October 2012 to August 2013,160 patients with oligoasthenospermia were randomly divided into two groups.Treatment measurements for 80 patients in the control group included oral treatment of Shengjing capsules 1.6 g/time Tid,Vit-E soft capsules 100 mg/time Tid,and took Vit-B 0.2 g/time Tid,for three months.Treatment measurements for 80 patients in the treatment group included oral treatment of selenium-enriched garlic in addition to all the above,for three months.We observed the changes of the semen quality indexes (including semen volume,sperm density,motility,survival rate,etc.) of two groups before and after treatment.Results Sperm quality was improved after treatment in both groups.All indices in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions For patients with male infertility caused by oligoasthenospermia,The use of combination of selenium-enriched garlic and Shengjing capsules can improve the quality of sperm.
