Practical Guide to Male Infertility, 2/E for Gynecologists and IVF Specialists | Diagnosis and Management of Male Factor Infertility before Resorting to ICSI and IVF: 1

Practical Guide to Male Infertility is a to-the-point book on the diagnosis and management of male factor infertility, written for the clinician who sees the couple rather than the man alone. Male factor is completely or partially responsible in at least about 40% of couples with infertility, yet it is not commonly discussed in the gynecology literature and is often not treated enthusiastically by gynecologists. Since the advent of intracytoplasmic sperm injection, improving sperm count and quality has been widely set aside; correctly diagnosing and treating mild and moderate male factor can help a couple conceive with more conventional and affordable treatment than in vitro fertilization, and improves results significantly where assisted reproductive technology is still needed. Nine chapters take the workup in the order a clinic follows it: evaluation of the subfertile male, semen analysis, endocrine evaluation, DNA fragmentation, azoospermia, medical management of oligoasthenospermia, varicocele, erectile and ejaculatory disorders, and andropause and male fertility. Who This Book Is For: Gynecologists managing infertile couples who want to work up and treat the male factor themselves rather than route straight to ART. Infertility specialists and reproductive medicine practitioners who need the practical detail in a form that can be consulted between consultations. Why This Book Helps: The whole book is built around practical aspects and tips for diagnosis and management, so it answers what to do next rather than surveying the literature. Treating the male factor alongside the female factor is presented as the route to significantly better fertility treatment results, with the affordable, less-invasive options worked through first. Semen analysis is treated as the gold standard and given its own chapter with reference tables and boxed practical points. The chapters most often skipped in general infertility texts — DNA fragmentation, azoospermia, varicocele, andropause — each get dedicated treatment. Its size and density make it usable as an under-the-desk reference during a clinic rather than background reading. Key Features: Nine focused chapters covering the complete male infertility workup from evaluation to andropause. Numbered tables and boxed practical points within chapters, with references for following the evidence. Dedicated chapters on azoospermia assessment and management and on the medical management of oligoasthenospermia. Endocrine evaluation and sperm DNA fragmentation covered as separate diagnostic chapters. Written by an infertility consultant and an infertility ultrasound consultant practising together at the same institute.
