Male Factor Infertility
For roughly one-third of couples that have a fertility problem, the complication results from some type of male factor infertility. Approximately another third of couples have both male- and female-based problems. Therefore, it is important to assess both partners when attempting to identify the source of infertility. The good news about male infertility is that it is generally reversible and, even in severe cases, can almost always be overcome through assisted reproductive technologies.
