Abstract
Interest in male infertility has increased, as it plays an important role in up to 50% of couples struggling with infertility, which is an estimated 48.5 million couples globally. Despite recent advances, diagnosing and treating male infertility remain a significant clinical challenge owing to complex multifactorial pathways and the diversity of treatment options. This review will assess current controversial topics on male infertility such as the use of home-based semen testing, management of subclinical varicocele, and recent advances in the field of sperm proteomics.
