- Abstract: Male factor infertility has been rising, which accounts for up to 30% of infertility cases and contributes to 50% of overall cases. The aim of this review is to explore the recent advances that have emerged in the field through a narrative review. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases, including the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Gray literature was also reviewed through ClinicalTrials.gov and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. The findings were presented narratively to encompass the extensive range of published data on male infertility. Significant strides have been made in the field of male infertility, particularly with biomarkers, shear wave elastography, 3-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotic and microsurgical treatment, offering promising avenues for diagnosis and treatment. Continued research and technological innovation are essential to further improve outcomes for patients facing male factor infertility.
