Abstract:	This chapter on subfertility and male sexual dysfunction is from an atlas of basic urologic problems that is designed to help general practitioners address the ever-increasing number of patients presenting to their offices with urological problems. Subfertility is defined as failure to conceive after regular unprotected sexual intercourse over a period of one year; this chapter only considers male subfertility. The author reviews the causes of male factor infertility and the diagnostic tests done to assess the condition. The author briefly discusses assisted reproductive techniques that can be used to treat couples affected by subfertility. The second section of the chapter covers erectile dysfunction (ED), its risk factors, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment. Two brief final sections consider Peyronie disease and androgen decline in the aging male. The chapter features a few pages of text, summaries of information in charts and tables, a list of recommendations for further reading, and full-color photographs and illustrations. 7 figures. 8 tables. 4 references.
