Unlike women, men do not experience a major, rapid (over several months) change in fertility as they age (like menopause). Instead, changes occur gradually during a process that some people call andropause. Aging changes in the male reproductive system occur primarily in the testes. Testicular tissue mass decreases. The level of the male sex hormone, testosterone decreases gradually. There may be problems getting an erection.

Approximately one in twenty men have sperm counts low enough to impair fertility but little progress has been made in answering fundamental questions in andrology or in developing new diagnostic tools or management strategies in infertile men. Many of these problems increase with age , leading to a growing population of men seeking help. To address this, there is a strong movement towards integrating male reproductive and sexual healthcare involving clinicians such as andrologists, urologists, endocrinologists and counselors.

Practical advice on how to perform both clinical and laboratory evaluations of infertile men is given, as well as a variety of methods for medically and surgically managing common issues.

the concept of reproductive health - women as sends and not means women, healthy women, need health care in order to be able to carry their sexual/ reproductive functions, and to carry them safely and successfully. During the second half of this century, there has been a vast expansion of health technologies and of health services to provide women with certain elements of reproductive health care. The services were not, however, without shortcomings. Apart from inadequate allocation of resources, the major shortcoming was in the philosophy with which these services were provided.
