Abstract

Although the objective of the urologist is to correct the factors of male infertility and to favour natural procreation, the strategy must consider also the couple and the female aspects of infertility. Some types of male infertility require specific treatment. In severe cases, recent advances in medical assistance to procreation have changed the prognosis of male infertility. Pregnancy can be obtained by the means of gamet manipulation and spermatozoid selection. Nevertheless, such techniques expose to genetic disorders transmission. Subsequently, genetic assessment is required during male infertility management, especially for difficult cases.
