About the course

This course is part of the RCOG Core Knowledge series.

After many decades of the term 'subfertility' being used with the constant assumption of the word 'female' in front of it, male subfertility has joined the mainstream medical discourse. In many cases of male subfertility, however, a specific cause has yet to be identified. However, advances are being made, and the successful treatment of most cases of male subfertility makes studying this subject a particularly rewarding exercise.

This course discusses the causes, evaluation and treatment of male subfertility.
