Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Total sperm count

    Total sperm count will be assessed by Semen analysis done after 3 months of either fertitonex or placebo administration. Total sperm count will be measured by number of sperms present in the semen sample.

    3 months

  • Sperm motility

    Sperm motility will be assessed by semen analysis done after 3 months of either fertitonex or placebo administration. Both total motility will be measured by percentage of motile sperms and progressive motility will be measured by percentage of progressively motile sperms present in the semen sample.

    3 months

  • Sperm Morphology

    Sperm morphology will be assessed by semen analysis done after 3 months of either fertitonex or placebo administration. Sperm morphology will be measured by percentage of normally shaped sperms present in the semen sample.
