The successful practice of reproductive medicine requires the coordinated efforts of many medical professionals. Male Reproductive Dysfunction: Pathophysiology and Treatment describes the most significant advances towards the improved overall understanding of male reproductive dysfunction and provides practical strategies for the assessment and management of these conditions.

The book discusses normal anatomy and physiology of the male reproductive system. It examines psychological and social influences, and the pathophysiology that can affect the male reproductive system from infancy through adulthood. It provides clear guidelines and algorithms for the assessment of male hypogonadism and infertility, from relevant history and physical exam findings to the proper interpretation of laboratory results. The book examines imaging technology and the currently available treatment strategies for male hypogonadism and infertility. Additional topics include immunological factors, the preservation of fertility in males with cancer, and the treatment of men with spinal cord injury and other neurologically disabling diseases.
