A lot of couples that we see have been treated by he general gynecologists for many years. The wife has been put through surgeries and ovulation induction treatments, and right at the end they decide to screen the male. 
And then they find that this is a couple with male infertility. What we find is that our patients arrive at our office, they're already really frustrated by the process. The wife has been through unnecessary operations , and so its very, very important that when a couple are seen and are struggling to fall pregnant, the semen analysis should form part of our basic investigations. 

We cannot get tunnel vision and see pathology in the female and say the male must be fine. 

We always need to screen the male and make sure that there's no secondary factor maybe, coming from the male.
