Summary

This trial tests whether a three-month course of the dietary supplement Stemregen can improve sperm quality in men with severe oligoasthenozoospermia, a condition marked by very low sperm count and poor movement. Researchers will compare semen parameters, sperm DNA damage, and outcomes of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) between men taking the supplement and a control group. The goal is to see if the supplement can enhance fertility treatment success after previous failed attempts.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Stemregen, a dietary supplement
What this could lead to
If it works, this supplement could offer a simple, non-invasive way to improve sperm quality and increase the chances of success in IVF for men with severe infertility.
What could go wrong
This is a small, non-randomized study, so results may not be conclusive. The supplement's effect on sperm and pregnancy outcomes is uncertain, and individual responses can vary.
