* Does drug clomiphene citrate change sperm count and motility in infertile men with idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia?
* What medical problems do participants have when taking drug clomiphene citrate? Researchers will compare drug clomiphene citrate to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug clomiphene citrate works to treat idiopathic oligoasthenozoospermia.
