The first Australian evidence‐based guidelines on male infertility

Infertility affects about one in six couples and a male factor may contribute to 50% of cases. Until recently, no Australian‐based clinical guidelines for the management of male infertility had been published. A panel of experts was assembled to formulate the first Australian evidence‐based guidelines on male infertility.
