Therapeutic effect of gonadotropins with and without a GnRH analogue (D6-tryptophan) in male infertility due to idiopathic oligoasthenospermia.
The authors evaluate the response to treatment with gonadotropins alone and in association with D6-tryptophan (a Gn-RH analogue) in a group of infertile men affected by idiopathic oligo-asthenospermia. An improvement of fast straight motility of spermatozoa at second hour from ejaculation have been observed in our patients, even if a larger number of cases is necessary to make definitive conclusion.
