The Role of Electroacupuncture With Standard Therapy on Sperm Analysis and SOD Levels in Oligozoospermia.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in Oligozoospermia Patient. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Electroacupuncture therapy and standard therapy can affect oligozoospermia. 2. Electroacupuncture therapy and standard therapy can affect semen and spermatozoa plasma SOD levels.

Researchers will compare patient with standard therapy with patient with standard therapy with electroacupuncture.
