Patient's question:
Body is unclearly fatDoctor's answer:
Hello: Azoospermia is divided into two major categories. The first category is testicular germ cell dysfunction, where sperm cannot be produced, also known as true azoospermia. The second category is normal testicular sperm production, but with obstructed spermatic ducts, preventing sperm from being expelled from the body, known as obstructive azoospermia. For obstructive azoospermia, minimally invasive treatment is possible. True azoospermia is not absolutely untreatable, as its causes or etiology mainly include genetic diseases, congenital testicular abnormalities, testicular lesions, endocrine diseases, severe systemic diseases, malnutrition, radiation damage, and drug effects. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the specific cause or etiology of true azoospermia and treat it accordingly. For radiation-induced azoospermia, it is necessary to avoid exposure to radiation sources. For drug-induced azoospermia, the drug should be discontinued or replaced with another. However, the treatment of sperm production disorders in true azoospermia is often less effective, especially in cases of orchidectomy or severe testicular pathological changes. Identifying the cause of azoospermia is very important. Some cases of azoospermia can be treated or addressed through assisted reproductive technologies to help individuals have their own children. Wishing you good health!
