title: Infertility. A clinical guide for the internist.
abstract: Infertility is a common condition that internists practicing primary care may increasingly encounter. Abnormal male semen parameters, ovulation disorders, and tubal dysfunction account for most cases of infertility. By performing a complete initial evaluation and through appropriate and timely referral, internists can contribute to the care and improve outcomes for couples with this condition (Table 9).
