<strong>Clinical</strong> <strong>Examination</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Male Genital System<br />
Final report<br />
Having completed the examination <strong>of</strong> the male genital<br />
system, the clinician may be asked to prepare a report<br />
on his or her findings. This will be based on the<br />
clinical examination <strong>of</strong> the patient, observation <strong>of</strong><br />
mating and semen evaluation. Current, past and future<br />
fertility can never be guaranteed. A description<br />
<strong>of</strong> current potential fertility can be made.<br />
