[The treatment of male infertility with the preparation vitaton]

Thirty men with fertility disorders, 21 to 42 years of age (mean 29 years) and mean duration of sterile matrimony 4 years 7 months received Vitaton treatment. The patients were divided in three groups: 8 with cryptorchidism, 12 having undergone resection of v. testicularis interna sin for varicocele and 10 with idiopathic oligospermia. In the first group of patients with bilateral cryptorchidism and azoospermia the control spermatograms showed persistence of azoospermia, i.e. in none of these patients was fertility reestablished. The second group of patients who had been operated for idiopathic varicocele experiences significant improvement in spermatozoid motility. In the third group (with idiopathic oligospermia) spermatozoid viability was improved--more than 50 per cent motility and more than 10 mu/sec speed of the spermatozoa. Application of Vitaton in andrologic practice gives justifiable hopes for improvement of spermatozoid motility and speed, which are the most important parameters for male inseminating capacity.
