I would have him get an FSH and testosterone drawn.

Are there any good sites on the internet?

Dr. Steve Shaban is our infertility urologist here. He has written a very nice overview of male infertility for the Atlanta Reproductive Health Center. It can be found at http://www.ivf.com/shaban.html

It is part of the larger ARHC male infertility website, http://www.ivf.com/male.html

There also seems to be good information at http://ferti.net/aus/pub/infert/mtreat.htm

Good luck.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
