Context: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common sexual disorder. In France, recent evidence-based guidelines are lacking.
Aim: To provide practice guidelines on ED therapeutic management.
Context: Contraception is a major global health issue, which is still dominated by female contraception. Developments in male contraception could help redistribute the contraceptive burden.
Methods: A literature search was carried out to review the existing options and the criteria for optimal contraception, to establish the principles of a male pre-contraception consultation, and to review the various research avenues with their advantages and disadvantages.
Background: Following on from the Rapport vers une stratégie nationale de lutte contre l'infertilité (Report on a national strategy to combat infertility) submitted to the French Minister of Health in 2022, whose objective 13 is: to better identify and diagnose male infertility, we wanted to clarify with reproductive specialists what role the urologist should play in the management of the infertile couple.
Methods: An expert consensus was reached with the Pedagogical Committee and pilots of the Transversal Specialized Training in Reproductive Medicine and Biology - Andrology, and with the presidents, board and scientific council of the French Federation for Reproductive Study (FFER).
Results: In the case of infertility in a couple, the fertility of both partners should be assessed from the outset, and in the event of abnormality or failure of ART, the patient should be referred to a uro-andrologist for expert management.
Background: Testicular and epididymal sperm extraction surgery is a frequent procedure. However, to date, there has been no French consensus on the technique to be preferred in the various situations of male infertility and on the best way to perform them. We therefore decided to proceed with a formalized expert consensus, using the method recommended by the French National Authority for Health.
