Male infertility is a frequently observed medical condition that is related to the functioning of extremely complex organs such as the pituitary gland and the gonads. The diagnosis and proper management of infertile men is challenging for modern medicine, given the high expectations and demands of current patients, mainly due to the economic and emotional expenses aroused by this "relationship issue".
