The effect of a combination of prostatic massage and antibiotic plus
Anticongestive drugs on human semen quality and fertility.
Homonnai ZT; Fainman N; Paz G; Kraicer PF
A total of 123 patients suffering from chronic prostatitis and
Infertility were included in this study. No significant improvement
In sperm quality was found following prostatic massage with (90
Patients) or without (33) antiobiotic plus anticongestive therapy.
There was no apparent change in the relative contribution on the
Prostate and seminal vesicle of the ejaculate, as judged by the
Concentration of calcium and fructose. Nor was the pregnancy rate
Increased. It is concluded that prostatic massage is of little or no
Therapeutic value in treatment of infertility.

Infertility and genitourinary infection.
Caldamone AA; Cockett AT
REVIEW
There is a vast amount of evidence linking the presence of
Genitourinary infection with infertility. Infection in either partner
Can result in specific effects on sperm function, accessory sexual
Gland dysfunction, and the induction of immunologic responses in
Either partner. Careful investigation for infection should be
Undertaken in every couple with the complaint of infertility.
Treatment needs to be individualized in each instance.

Chronic prostato-vesiculitis and sperm-cell mobility in male
Infertility.
Scarselli G; Noci I; Tantini C; Ponchietti R
Marrucci G; Tonini M; Franchini M
The purpose of this research has been to value the importance of
Chronic inflammation of the prostatovesicular apparatus in sterile
Patients. The authors wish to underline the high incidence of chronic
Inflammation if this apparatus in such patients, the low incidence of
Bacterial forms and the high frequence of association with
Bradycinesia. The therapy of such forms gives excellent results.

Melioidosis presenting as prostatitis--a case report from Sabah.
Kan SK; Kay RW
Previous reports of melioidosis in Sabah are reviewed and a detailed
Account of a case, presenting as prostatitis, in a 40-year-old
British male is given. The history suggested that the organism,
Pseudomonas pseudomallei, was transmitted by a fly which entered the
Eye. Diagnosis was delayed and treatment presented some difficulty,
The organism being relatively insensitive to amplicillin and
Gentamicin. Co-trimoxazole was the most effective, followed by
Minocycline. Cure was eventually achieved and after four years the
Patient was fit and normal, except for sterility.

Decrease of sperm antibody titer in males, and conception after
Treatment of chronic prostatitis.
Fjallbrant B; Nilsson S
Although autoimmunization to spermatozoa is a cause of male
Infertility, the cause of antibody formation is unknown in most
Cases. It has been shown that the titer is usually unchanged for as
Much as 16 years in the same individual. Trials to reduce the titer
With varying methods have not been successful. A new possibility of
Treatment was indicated by the finding of a higher incidence of
Prostatitis in men with sperm antibodies than in a control group.
Following treatment of prostatitis we observed a reduction of the
Antibody titer in eight cases. In five cases the cervical mucus
Penetrating capacity of the spermatozoa improved, and conception
Occurred.

Findings and significance of spermatozoa agglomeration in the semen]
VERNACULAR TITLE:
Befund und Bedeutung von Spermatozoen-Agglomerationen im Sperma
Hofmann N; Hornstein OP; Auer WP
Ger
Agglomeration of spermatozoa (pseudo-autagglutination, clumping of
Spermatozoa) is distinguished from agglutination in immunological
Processes by the coarse meshwork of the spermatozoa clumps and the
Central inclusion of epithelia, leukocytes, residual bodies,
Spermatozoa with persisting cytoplasmatic droplets, as well as parts
Of viscous seminal plasma. In 658 semen samples of out-patients with
Barried marriage, spermatozoa agglomerations were seen in 13.4% of
The samples immediately after liquefaction while in additional 6.7%,
They were found up to three hours later. The agglomeration phenomenon
Is typical but not specific of the so-called vegetative congestion
Syndrome, appearing concomitant with high spermatozoa counts, normal
Rate of spermatozoa motility and morphology, as well as an increase
In residual bodies and spermatozoa with persisting cytoplasmatic
Droplets. Next to congestion syndrome, spermatozoa agglomerations may
Also result from post-inflammatory disturbances of epididymal or
Accessory gland function whereas in florid stages of inflammation,
They are rarely observed. As the congestion syndrome may give rise to
Male infertility in some cases, andrologists should be acquainted
With its clinical and spermatological symptoms with special regard to
Therapy.

Semen zinc levels in infertile and postvasectomy patients and patients
With prostatitis.
Marmar JL; Katz S; Praiss DE; debenedictis TJ
The semen zinc levels were determined in 18 volunteers, 132 patients
Postvasectomy, and in 19 patients with prostatitis. The mean values
For semen zinc were the same in the volunteers and postvasectomy
Patients. However, the mean zinc concentration in the volunteers and
Postvasectomy patients was significantly different from that of the
Patients with prostatitis. When a group of 12 patients with
Prostatitis was given supplementary zinc sulfate, the levels of semen
Zinc rose dramatically and were significantly different from those
Before treatment. As part of an infertility evaluation, 153 specimens
From 72 men who had not fathered a child were examined. A complete
Semen analysis of each specimen was made, including the semen zinc
Concentration. The specimens were separated into four arbitrary
Groups with differing fertility potential. The groups were organized
By sperm counts (less than 20 million sperm/ml, 20 to 60 million
Sperm/ml, 60 to 100 million sperm/ml, and greater than 100 million
Sperm/ml). There was a trend toward increasing zinc concentrations in
The groups with increasing fertility potential. Eleven patients with
Oligospermia and low semen zinc levels were given supplementary zinc
Sulfate, 80 mg three times/day for 6 months to 1 year. The parameters
Of the semen analysis improved in all categories. There were three
Pregnancies during the period of treatment.

Use of methenamine hippurate in male infertility.
Sokol S; Jacobson CB; Derrick FC Jr
In sperm-freezing for infertility patients with low sperm counts, we
Found that semen containing high numbers of white blood cells,
Greater than 15 to 20 per high-power field, was both poor in quality
And difficult to freeze. In examining these patients carefully, we
Found that many had smoldering prostatitis and some an overt history
Of prostatitis. We treated them with methenamine hippurate using
Various methods and found that by decreasing the white blood cell
Count in their semen, we could frequently improve the semen quality,
Particularly sperm motility, also achieve pregnancies in some cases.
