History of Male Infertility and Its Surgical Treatment: Historical Essays:: Volume 1: Infertility and Semen Analysis, Volume 2: Reconstructive Surgery and Varicocele

Infertility in men has been a longstanding issue throughout history. In the past, infertility was commonly thought to be solely the fault of females, while the complex history of male infertility was often overlooked. Currently, there is limited literature on the subject, with only a few review articles and introductory chapters in textbooks or specialized books discussing the clinical features of male infertility, but failing to address its historical, societal, cultural, political, and philosophical implications. This book aims to fill this gap and offer readers a comprehensive historical perspective on the development of male infertility into a clinical entity.
