This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of two organic dietary supplements, AndroDoz and Testogenon, in the treatment of 58 men with spermatologic disorders and oxidative stress after experiencing reproductively significant diseases caused by sexually transmitted infection. Over a 12 week period, 38 patients (test group) received both AndroDoz and Testogenon as a combination therapy, whereas 20 patients (control group) received AndroDoz alone. The combination therapy with both AndroDoz and Testogenon showed a statistically significant increase in treatment effectiveness. A positive clinical effect was noted in 92.2% of patients in the test group who received combination therapy. This was reflected as an increased concentration and mobility level of spermatozoa, similar to values observed in men with normozoospermia. Moreover, these men exhibited a two-fold reduction in the risk of fertility disorders due to DNA fragmentation in spermatozoa; their testosterone also increased to normal levels. Additionally, patients in the test group showed improvement in the quality of erection and increased blood flow in the prostate gland and testicles. Men in the control group, who received monotherapy with AndroDoz, did not show improvement similar to that of men in the test group; normozoospermia was established in 70% of men in the control group. These results confirm that AndroDoz and Testogenon are more effective when used concomitantly. These supplements showed no side effects and could be used in complex treatment of spermatologic disorders and oxidative stress in men who experienced reproductively significant diseases caused by sexually transmitted infection.

There were 27 men under observation who got conservative treatment for Peyronie's disease. The criteria for inclusion in the study were the maximum size of the plaque of the penis up to 1.5 cm and the angle of curvature of the penis is less than 45 degrees. Before treatment, after 6 and 12 months, patients underwent ultrasonic dopplerography of the penis, the velocity of blood flow in the cavernous and dorsal arteries and the size of the plaque were determined. All observed patients were prescribed combined therapy, such as symptomatic, immunological and physiotherapeutic treatment. In this case, the patients of the 1st group (n = 15) additionally got longidase treatment (intramuscularly for 3000 IU every 3 days, for a course of 10 injections with concurrent administration of rectal suppositories with longidase at the same dose for a course of 10 suppositories). Locally, these patients were assigned phonophoresis with lengidase on the plaque area (10 sessions). The remaining 12 patients (2nd group) didn’t got longidase treament. Six months after the start of treatment the absence of plaques was recorded in 8 (53.3%) patients in the 1st group and 4 (33.3%) in the 2nd group of patients and in 12 months in 11 (73.3%) and 6 (41.6%) patients. Thus, conservative therapy in Peyronie's disease is effective in patients in the early stages of the disease with moderate deviation of the penis and plaques up to 1.5 cm. The inclusion of longidase in the complex therapy increases the effectiveness of the treatment. (For citation: Kalinina SN, Fesenko VN, Nikolskii AV, et al.
