Summary

Up to the 1980s the ability to treat couples with male subfertility was limited. Treatable conditions included gonadotrophin therapy for men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (which is estimated to be present in 1 in 200 infertile men), and the treatment of autoimmunity with high dose steroids with its side effects and complications (i.e. avascular necrosis of the head of the femur) [1].
