Despite the fact that about half of infertility problems stem from male factors, gynecologists are often the first health care providers to perform the initial assessment of the infertile couple. For this reason, it is critical that gynecologists and reproductive medicine specialists remain up to date on the primary conditions that cause male infertility, as well as current diagnostic tools and treatment options of both natural and assisted conception. From diagnosis through treatment, Male Infertility: Management of Infertile Men in Reproductive Medicine offers expert, straightforward guidance on the pathophysiology and management of male infertility for clinicians who assist couples early in the process of trying to conceive.
