Publisher's Synopsis
At present, the medical response to the increased incidence of infertile couples has become highly technical, with recourse to ever more sophisticated methods for assisted reproduction. However, it sometimes appears to be forgotten that the success of any method also depends on the overall quality of the semen sample.;This book presents new studies in the field of diagnosis of male infertility. The invited papers focus on the various diagnostic tests now available, the parameters of semen quality and the multifarious factors which influence fertility. Emphasis is also placed on the causes of, or associated factors in, semen anomalies whether they be secretory, excretory or combinations of these. Only with such knowledge can the most effective medical, surgical or biological treatment for improving semen quality be applied.
