Summary
Male infertility accounts for nearly half of all infertility cases worldwide, yet it remains underdiagnosed, undertreated, and understudied relative to female reproductive health. Recent advances in molecular diagnostics, imaging, and reproductive technologies have highlighted the complexity of male infertility and its association with systemic health conditions, including metabolic, genetic, and inflammatory disorders. Integrating andrology more fully into reproductive medicine is essential for improving patient outcomes and addressing gaps in care.
This Special Issue aims to explore the evolving landscape of male infertility through a multidisciplinary lens—bridging clinical and basic science, urology and reproductive endocrinology. We seek to highlight innovative approaches to diagnosis, management, and the broader health implications of male infertility.
Suggested Themes:
· Novel diagnostic tools (e.g., proteomics, genetic testing, advanced semen analysis)
· Oxidative stress and sperm dysfunction
· Male infertility as a biomarker for systemic disease
· Emerging therapeutic strategies and lifestyle interventions
· Psychosocial and ethical dimensions of male infertility
· Advances in sperm retrieval and ART outcomes
· Translational research and personalized medicine in andrology
This issue invites original research, reviews, and clinical studies that contribute to a deeper understanding and better integration of andrology in reproductive health care.
