[A report of 31 cases of asthenospermia treated by jujing granulation].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the therapeutic effects of Jujing granulation on asthenospermia.


METHODS
Thirty-six patients aged from 24 to 39 years with asthenospermia were received at our clinic of andrology from July 2004 to April 2005, and they were given Jujing granulation 120 ml twice a day for 3 months. The sperm parameters of the patients were analyzed by computer assisted sperm analysis system before and after Jujing granulation treatment.


RESULTS
Of the 31 patients who accomplished 3-month Jujing granulation therapy, only 3 remained unimproved in sperm parameters, while the other 28 were significantly improved in rapid sperm motility, forward sperm motility and total sperm motility, except in sperm density. Five of the patients' wives got pregnant and one had a child.


CONCLUSIONS
Oral Jujing granulation therapy is efficacious for asthenospermia.
