Abstract

Infertility incidence is increasing and as per estimate, 15% population in reproductive age group is affected from infertility and a large number of infertile couples opt for treatment because of increasing awareness, availability of infertility-related services and advancement in all fields of infertility management. In the diagnostic protocol, ultrasound has become an integral part of infertility management because it is noninvasive and the entire male genital tract can be imaged easily and accurately. However, ultrasonography is only indicated for a minority of infertile male patients and the use of ultrasonography in male infertility is surrounded by several controversies. This chapter aims to look into technique of ultrasonography and delineate the clinical relevance in male infertility, to evaluate various controversies and recommendations.
