Abstract
Male factor infertility is the commonest single reason for infertility in couples trying to have children. This article summarizes the aetiology, classification, and management of male factor infertility. The cause for male infertility can be broadly classified into pre-testicular, testicular and post testicular causes depending on the underlying pathology. A detailed history and examination are crucial alongside investigations to delineate the cause. The management for male infertility varies depending on the cause of male infertility. Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, medical management, surgical management, and surgical sperm retrieval followed by assisted reproduction.
