In recent years, wide utilization of herbal drugs has encouraged scientists to determine their impressive effects on health. Since Nigella sativa L. seed (N. sativa) has many uses including infertility in traditional medicine, the effects of Nigella sativa L. seed oil on abnormal semen quality in infertile men with abnormal semen quality are of interest. This study was conducted on Iranian infertile men with inclusion criteria of abnormal sperm morphology less than 30% or sperm counts below 20×10(6)/ml or type A and B motility less than 25% and 50% respectively. The patients in N. sativa oil group (n=34) received 2.5mlN. sativa oil and placebo group (n=34) received 2.5ml liquid paraffin two times a day orally for 2 months. At baseline and after 2 months, the sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells as primary outcomes were determined in both groups. Results showed that sperm count, motility and morphology and semen volume, pH and round cells were improved significantly in N. sativa oil treated group compared with placebo group after 2 months. It is concluded that daily intake of 5ml N. sativa oil for two months improves abnormal semen quality in infertile men without any adverse effects.
近年来,草药的广泛应用促使科学家们确定其对健康的显著影响。由于黑种草子(N. sativa)在传统医学中有许多用途,包括治疗不孕,因此黑种草子油对精液质量异常的不育男性的异常精液质量的影响引起了人们的兴趣。这项研究的对象是伊朗的不育男性,纳入标准为精子形态异常小于 30%或精子计数低于 20×10(6)/ml 或 A 级和 B 级运动率分别低于 25%和 50%。N. sativa 油组(n=34)的患者每天口服 2.5mlN. sativa 油,安慰剂组(n=34)每天口服 2.5ml 液体石蜡两次,持续 2 个月。在基线和 2 个月后,分别对两组的精子计数、活力和形态以及精液量、pH 值和圆形细胞等主要结局进行了测定。结果表明,与安慰剂组相比,N. sativa 油治疗组在 2 个月后精子计数、活力和形态以及精液量、pH 值和圆形细胞均显著改善。结论:每日摄入 5ml N. sativa 油持续 2 个月可改善不育男性的异常精液质量,且无不良反应。
