Then we analyzed the changes in the patients'seminal parameters and the pregnancy of their wives.


RESULTS
After 12 weeks of medication, both the seminal parameters of the patients and pregnancy of their wives were remarkably improved, with extremely significant differences from pre-treatment and the control (P < 0.01).
