ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the clinical therapeutic effects of Yijingfang, a Chinese medicinal liquid, on asthenospermia.@*METHODS@#We randomly divided 450 asthenospermia patients into a treatment group (n = 300) and a control group (n = 150), the former treated with Yijingfang once half a dose, bid, and the latter with Wuziyanzong Pills (9 g, bid) + L-carnitine oral liquid (10 ml, bid), both for 3 months. Before and at 1, 2, and 3 months after medication, we compared the semen volume, sperm concentration, percentages of progressively motile sperm (PMS) and total motile sperm (TMS), and semen liquefaction time between the two groups of patients.@*RESULTS@#No statistically significant difference was observed in the semen parameters between the treatment and control groups before medication (P >0.05). In comparison with the baseline, the treatment group showed significant differences at 1, 2, and 3 months after medication in sperm concentration ([35.96 ± 8.50] vs [49.66 ± 10.91], [55.21 ± 11.46], [74.90 ± 13.07] ×10⁶/ml, P 0.05) or semen liquefaction time ([32.31 ± 8.15] vs [31.68 ± 3.14], [30.38 ± 3.44], and [30.86 ± 2.42] min, P >0.05); the control group exhibited similar results at the three time points in sperm concentration ([36.85 ± 6.88] vs [40.53 ± 8.32], [47.51 ± 12.73], and [56.14 ± 11.98] ×10⁶/ml, P 0.05) or semen liquefaction time ([30.25 ± 5.20] vs [29.36±4.25], [28.21±3.26], and [28.33±3.59] min, P >0.05). There were statistically significant differences between the treatment and control groups in the increase rates of sperm concentration and TMS after medication (P 0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#Yijingfang is an effective drug for the treatment of asthenospermia, which can regulate the spermatogenesis, increase the percentage of PMS, and improve the total sperm motility of the patients.
