title: [Male infertility update].
abstract: Exact etiological factors cannot be found in more than 70% of male infertility. Although the causes of some male infertility are known, the pathogenesis is not yet clear. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility are particularly complicated. Some breakthroughs have been made in the treatment of refractory male infertility since the development of ICSI in 1992. However, traditional treatment should also be taken into account for individual male infertility. The standardization of diagnosis and treatment and the improvement of the success rate and safety of assistant reproductive technology will be the dominant factors in the development of male infertility researches.
