• Male infertility:
o In-utero insemination for mild cases
o intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for severe cases (requires In vitro fertilisation)
o sperm donation : for untreatable cases
• In vitro fertilisation
o It is the treatment of choice when:
other primary treatments have failed, or
as an alternative primary treatment, or
as an essential part of other treatment such as gamete donation
