      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Simple Random Sampling. The study population is infertile men with teratostenozoospermia. Each participant randomly enters one of the study groups (placebo or treatment ) and will receive two packs of pills in different colors from the doctor who is unaware of their contents. Researchers, impact evaluators and data analysts are also unaware of the assignment of the study group and the record book is in the hands of the doctor until the end of the study.
The treatment group receives a daily supplement  of vitamin E (400 IU) in combination of selenium (200μg) and the placebo group receives two caplet of placebo for 3 months. Also, all patients will be followed up by researchers throughout the study, Blinding description: All participants, researchers, outcome evaluators, and data analysts are blind to the intervention until the study is completed.Each participant randomly enters one of the study groups (placebo or under treatment) and will receive two packs of pills in different colors from the doctor, which the doctor is unaware of its content.Researchers, impact evaluators and data analysts are also unaware of the assignment of the study group and the record book is in the hands of the doctor until the end of the study.</study_design>
