Infertility impacts 15% of couples attempting to conceive, and a malefactor is involved in up to 50% of the time.  Male infertility incidence varies across geographical locations and can range anywhere from 20 – 70%.1  Although there are many identifiable causes for male infertility, such as infection, hormonal abnormalities, varicocele, and malignancy to name a few, a large proportion of cases remain unexplained (UMI) or idiopathic (IMI).
