What are the factors causing infertility due to vas deferens obstruction?

Patient's question:

We have never had children and there are no abnormalities in our health? Recently, my wife and I are eager to have a child, so we came to the hospital. After the doctor conducted a comprehensive examination, the results indicated that the blockage of my vas deferens was the cause. The doctor advised us to undergo surgical treatment as soon as possible.

Doctor's answer:

1. Congenital Abnormalities: Undeveloped or poorly developed vas deferens, non-communication with the epididymis, often accompanied by underdeveloped seminal vesicles, leading to low semen volume and azoospermia.
2. Inflammatory Stricture: Inflammation of the vas deferens caused by various pathogens forms scars, resulting in lumen occlusion. Severe cases can lead to azoospermia.
3. Tumors: Tumors originating from the vas deferens itself or adjacent organs compressing the lumen, which is also one of the factors or causes of azoospermia.
