男子不妊症にたいする朝鮮人蔘エキスの効果について

Abstract

Twenty five male infertile patients with oligozoospermia who visited our male sterility clinic of Tohoku University Hospital were treated with Hiyaku capsule, containing 100 mg of active extract of Panax Ginseng C. A. Meyer and 20 mg of vitamin E. These patients were administered 3 capsules daily by mouth for 1 to 3 months. The sperm count was markedly increased in 32.0 % of the cases treated, increased in 16.0 %, moderately increased in 16.0 % and unchanged in 36.0 %. The sperm motility was markedly improved in 8.0 % of these cases treated, improved in 4.0 %, moderately improved in 20.0 % and unchanged in 68.0 %. In the number of motile spermatozoa (sperm count x sperm motility), the results obtained were very good in 16.0 %, good in 4.0 %, moderate in 24.0 % and no effect in 56.0 %.
