Microscopical spermatic vein ligation combined with shaofu zhuyu decoction for the treatment of varicocele caused by sthenospermia

Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of varicocele(VC) induced oligospermia treated by arterial microvascularization combined with shaofu zhuyu decoction. Methods From March 2016 to October 2018, 50 cases of VC infertility patients were seleced and randomly divided into treatment group and the control group(n=25), the treatment group were given by microscopic spermatic vein ligation combined lower abdomen stasis soup, one dose a day, morning and evening for three months. In the control group, only microscopical spermatic vein ligation was performed. Results All the patients were successfully operated, the postoperative symptoms disappeared, the sperm concentration, semen volume and sperm activity were significantly increased, and the percentage of abnormal sperm was significantly decreased, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The semen parameters of the patients in the treatment group with shaofu zhuyu decoction improved significantly after 3 months, there was significantly better than the control group. Conclusions Microscopical spermatic vein ligation combined with shaofu zhuyu decoction for the treatment of asthenospermia caused by varicocele has a satisfactory effect and the semen quality has been improved obviously.
