XXXX : results in 90 infertile couples.

@entity1 @entity3893 @entity2332
We studied the use of a testicular @entity2332 device worn daily for at least 16 weeks in 64 @entity1 with subfertile semen and elevated testicular temperature, who had had an infertile marriage for 2 or more years in which the wife was judged fertile. Improvement in 1 or more semen parameters was seen in 42 @entity1 (65.6 per cent). Semen analysis was converted into the motile oval index, a numerical value representing the count, motility and normal morphology. The motile oval index helps to predict pregnancy outcome. Of 21 @entity1 with pre-treatment motile oval indexes greater than 4.8 million per ml. 11 (52.4 per cent) produced pregnancy. @entity1 with lower starting indexes did not fare as well. Of 20 @entity1 who met the criteria, and who wore the device for less than 2 weeks or not at all and had no other treatment 1 (5.0 per cent) produced pregnancy. Mean @entity2332 time to date of missed menses was 4.2 months. Six @entity1 with nonobstructive @entity3893 showed no semen change with the testicular @entity2332 device.
