Male factor infertility is a complex issue presenting many diagnostic and management challenges. It is responsible for about 50% of all causes of infertility and thus carries significant medical, financial, and psychological implications for the couples struggling with conception. Klinefelter syndrome is the most common chromosomal male anomaly associated with male infertility. This review focuses specifically on non-obstructive azoospermia secondary to Klinefelter syndrome and discusses controversies surrounding fertility management in patients with this genetic disorder.
男性因素导致的不育是一个复杂的问题,带来了许多诊断和治疗方面的挑战。它约占所有不育原因的50%,因此对那些为受孕而苦苦挣扎的夫妇有着重大的医学、经济和心理影响。克兰费尔特综合征是与男性不育相关的最常见的染色体男性异常。本综述特别关注继发于克兰费尔特综合征的非梗阻性无精子症,并讨论围绕这种遗传性疾病患者生育管理的争议。
