Male Infertility Protocol

Meaning

A Male Infertility Protocol is a systematic, evidence-based clinical pathway used for the thorough diagnosis, evaluation, and management of factors contributing to a male’s inability to achieve conception. This structured approach begins with a comprehensive history and physical examination, followed by a series of standardized laboratory and imaging tests. The protocol is essential for identifying the underlying causes, which often involve subtle or overt dysfunctions within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. Effective implementation of this protocol allows for targeted, individualized therapeutic interventions to improve fertility outcomes.
