RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To assess an integrated method of operation + Chinese medicine + dexamethasone + vitamin E in treating varicocele. METHODS: Ninety-six patients with varicocele were randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (Group A, n=47) treated with the integrated method, the control group (Group B, n=49) treated with Chinese medicine, dexamethasone and vitamin E. RESULTS: After the treatment, the sperm density and motility and pregnancy rate were higher (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05) and the sperm deformity rate was lower in the experiment group than in the control (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The integrated method works better than either operation or Chinese medicine applied alone in the treatment of varicocele.
