Abstract: Infertility affects an estimated 15% of couples globally, amounting to 48.5 million couples. Males are found to be solely responsible for 20-30% of infertility cases and contribute to 50% of cases overall. However, this number does not accurately represent all regions of the world. We performed a systematic review in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for articles published before August 1, 2016, using the MeSH terms for a variety of epdimeiology, Etiology, causes and Male infertility, to demonstrate the evidence based for an enhanced understanding of male factor infertility prevalence in the world, and to review the different causes of fertility among men. We concluded, as such, data from a significant number of infertile individuals is never included, which may bias the data. Genetic factors that impact male factor infertility will provide valuable insights into the creation of targeted treatments for patients and the determination of the causes of idiopathic infertility. Male subfertility occurs commonly in patients that endocrinologists see in their practice: men with obesity, diabetes mellitus, Klinefelter syndrome and hypogonadotropism due hyperprolactinemia, opiates, or corticosteroids.
