The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists state that male factor infertility is responsible for up to 25% of all cases of infertility and may contribute in a further 25%. Where the role of the urologist ends and gynaecologist begins in these couples is a matter of debate. We therefore discuss the management of these couples and the need for a multidisciplinary approach.
