Management of the infertile couple

Robert I McLachlan et al. Aust Fam Physician. 2005 Mar.

Abstract

Background: With the further development of reproductive technology over the past 2 decades, options for subfertile couples have greatly increased.

Objective: This article discusses the assessment of common male and female causes of infertility and describes a logical routine for the investigation and treatment of the subfertile couple using a flow chart approach.

Discussion: We suggest an approach to assessment for general practitioners, and outline the likely course of more sophisticated testing and treatments that their patients may then experience.
