Abstract

The management of male idiopathic infertility is heterogeneous. Although meta-analyses reported the effectiveness on pregnancy rate, the real clinical impact of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) was not evaluated so far. In Italy, FSH is approved by the National Medicines Agency (AIFA) for idiopathic infertile patients with FSH < 8 IU/L, independently of semen parameters.
