OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of zinc and selenium on the sperm quality of oligoasthenozoospermic men. METHODS: Thirty-four cases of oligoasthenozoospermia were treated with Xinxibao (Zinc & Selenium Tablet) three times a day and five tablets at a time for ninety days in succession. The seminal routine analysis was performed by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) at the end of each month. RESULTS: The sperm quality was improved significantly sixty days and ninety days after treatment. Five cases (14.7%) showed remarkable effect, 25 (73.5%) improved, and 4 (11.8%) did not respond. CONCLUSION: Zinc and selenium can significantly improve the sperm quality of oligoasthenozoospermic men.
