title: Male factor infertility.
abstract: Male factors are responsible for or contributory to half of infertility cases. Through history, physical exam, and basic tests, the clinician can successfully perform the majority of evaluations. The use of semen analysis, postcoital test, and serum hormonal levels are described. Causal factors are discussed. The use of more specialized testing and information concerning referral are also detailed.
