Medical treatment of the infertile male.
In summary, the effective treatment of certain disorders of male infertility is possible. As in all areas of medicine, the more specific the diagnosis, the more specific the treatment, and, as expected, the greater the success of treatment. Much of the confusion regarding the efficacy of the medical treatment of infertility has been generated by the use of empiric treatment modalities without thorough diagnostic evaluation. Further advances in knowledge pertaining to the mechanism of infertility should increase the precision of our forms of treatment, thus producing increased rates of success.
