Abstract
The effects of various doses of indomethacin and ketoprofen as compared with placebo were examined in 100 oligospermic patients who participated in this study. It was found that the treatment increased sperm count, sperm motility, and fertilizing capacity. The radioimmunoassay examination showed an increase in plasma follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone but a decrease in testosterone. The results show that the influence of indomethacin was better in the dose of 75 mg daily. The mechanism of those changes is not clear. Treatment should be at least 60 days.Entities:
