Objective To assess the effect of treatment with a combination of the tamoxifen citrate and testosterone undecanoate on sperm variables in men with idiopathic azoospermia or oligozoospermia. Methods Four men with idiopathic azoospermia and 8 men with idiopathic oligozoospermia were collected in this retrospective and self control trial. All patients were treated with testosterone undecanoate of 80mg/d and tamoxifen citrate of 20mg/d. Sperm characteristics and pregnancy incidence were measured every month during 4 months medication. Results Tamoxifen citrate plus testosterone undecanoate treatment produced a satisfactory improvement of total sperm number, motility after 2 and 3 months whereas serum FSH, LH levels increased after 2 or 3 months. Conclusion The combination of tamoxifen citrate with testosterone undecanoate could improve significantly sperm count. The combination could be used in men with idiopathic azoospermia or serious oligozoospermia.
