Abstract
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of Gushenyutai plaster administered at the Guanyuan (CV 4) acupoint on male infertility associated with semen non-liquefaction. MethodsSixty-two male patients with infertility caused by semen non-liquefaction were randomized into a treatment and control group. The control group received comprehensive therapy, which included oral administration of clarithromycin sustained release tablets, hip bath with Zhongyaoxiaoyan granules, prostate massage, and transurethral microwave treatment. The treatment group was administered Gushenyutai plaster in addition to the comprehensive therapy. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. After treatment, the clinical effect and pregnancy rate were assessed and compared between the two groups. ResultsThe effective rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (96.77% vs 70.97%, P<0.05) and the pregnancy rates of the treatment group and control groups were 38.71% and 16.13%, respectively (P<0.05). ConclusionThe effect of Gushenyutai plaster plus comprehensive therapy was better than that of the comprehensive therapy alone on male infertility induced by semen non-liquefaction.
