Infertility is a pervasive issue affecting a considerable proportion of couples in their reproductive years, with a projected 10%–15% prevalence. It is characterized by the incapability to achieve conception following a year of consistent, unprotected intercourse, and its far‐reaching consequences can take a profound emotional, psychological, and social toll on couples, inducing feelings of melancholy, exasperation, and anxiety. The appraisal of infertile couples' cases is a multifaceted and daunting process, necessitating a holistic understanding of the intricate underlying factors contributing to their infertility. Consequently, an individualized evaluation should be conducted, considering diverse parameters, such as the couple's medical history, age, infertility duration, and other relevant criteria. This paper will provide an in‐depth overview of the current approaches utilized in the evaluation of men with infertility, including the commonly employed diagnostic tools and procedures. Enhancing our comprehension of infertility assessment and management holds the promise of helping couples achieve their ultimate desire of conceiving and enriching their overall quality of life.
