Male Infertility, Oligoasthenospermia
Conditions
Brief summary
This study evaluated whether Stemregen® dietary supplementation could improve sperm quality and assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in men with severe oligoasthenozoospermia who had previously experienced at least one failed intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) attempt. A total of 60 men were included and divided into a treatment group and a control group. Participants in the treatment group received Stemregen® dietary supplementation for 3 months, while the control group received no additional treatment. Semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation, fertilization, embryo transfer, and pregnancy outcomes were evaluated and compared between the groups.
