Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor gave me the test results and said that I have azoospermia. What should I do about azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two types of azoospermia: obstructive azoospermia and primary azoospermia, which is also known as non-obstructive azoospermia. This refers to azoospermia caused by impaired sperm production. When a test shows no sperm, it should be repeated to determine if there was an error in the examination. If no sperm is found in a standard semen analysis, the semen should be centrifuged, and the sediment should be examined. If sperm is not found in three consecutive tests, azoospermia can be confirmed. Further investigation into the cause of azoospermia is necessary. Identifying the cause of azoospermia is more important, as effective treatment depends on it.
