title: Male factor assessment in infertility.
abstract: Male infertility assessment is more than a semen analysis. By interpreting a semen analysis, clinicians recognize its uses and limitations. Once understood, clinicians can then apply modern techniques of endocrine and radiologic evaluation to diagnosis of male reproductive dysfunction. It is important to identify patients with infertility not only to allow reproductive potential but also to identify a population susceptible to future disease states.
