Is azoospermia divided into congenital and acquired?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I heard that problems with sperm can lead to male infertility, which is one of the important factors or causes of female infertility. So, I would like to know if azoospermia is divided into congenital and acquired? Can this condition be cured?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, azoospermia is classified into three types: congenital, obstructive, and inflammatory; congenital azoospermia does not produce sperm and generally has little treatment significance. Obstructive and inflammatory azoospermia can be cured through treatment. Azoospermia without symptoms may be caused by factors such as blocked vas deferens, congenital testicular damage, varicocele of the spermatic cord, testicular abnormalities, endocrine factors, and immune factors. It is recommended that you undergo a check-up to determine the underlying cause or etiology, and then decide on a treatment plan based on the results. As long as it is inflammatory, it can be cured.
