Abstract
Although a link between stress and infertility has been well established, most previous studies have focused on female partners. Only a few studies have thoroughly addressed the role of stress for male partners, particularly the direct relationship between stress and male reproductive function. Bräuner et al. (1) should be commended for their well-designed study evaluating male partner stress as a potential cause of gonadal dysfunction. The authors performed a cross-sectional study of 423 Danish men (149 [35.2%] infertile men and 274 [64.8%] fertile control men) recruited from an academic medical center to assess the association between psychological stress, stressful life events (SLEs), and male reproductive function as measured by semen quality, serum reproductive hormones, and erectile dysfunction.
