Abstract/OtherAbstract:
There are several objectives to be achieved during the diagnostic evaluation of a male partner of an infertile partnership. The first is to identify whether or not there is a male factor present and, if so, whether this is attributable to an underlying medical illness. The second is to identify the cause of reduced male fertility and whether or not it is amenable to therapeutic intervention.
