Abstract
30 patients with isolated asthenozoospermia received a treatment with 5000 I.U. Human-Chorionic-Gonadotropin (HCG) a week intramuscularly for twelve weeks. Pretreatment basal levels of FSH, LH and testosterone were in normal or low normal range. 16 males responded to therapy, the total motility of spermatozoa increased significantly from 34% to 40%. In spite of a decreased sperm density and morphologic quality 6 pregnancies occurred. This result strengthens the interpretation, that sperm motility is the most important factor for fertilization. HCG therapy must be considered as an additional approach for treating motility disturbances, especially in cases with high sperm densities.
