Abstract
Infertility is a common condition seen in primary care practices. The World Health Organization estimates that 9% of couples worldwide struggle with fertility issues and that the male factor contributes to 20-30% of all infertility cases. The diagnosis of infertility in men is primarily based on semen analysis. The main parameters of semen include concentration, appearance, and motility of sperm. Recently, the demand for infertility services has increased, and infertile couples are seen frequently by primary care physicians. A flexible, patient-centred approach is indicated. This article outlines the Family Physician`s evaluation of male infertility and indications for referral to a male infertility specialist. Key words: Male infertility, primary care, spermatogenesis, azoospermia.
