Abstract
Male infertility, hypogonadism, and sexual dysfunction are classified according to localization of the disease as the first ordering principle and cause as the second. The corresponding ICD digits are listed. An overview of diagnoses and an additional classification according to therapeutic options and references to the relevant chapters of this book complete this classification of andrological disorders.
