Patient's question:
Can male infertility be cured? I have azoospermia. I'm really scared I won't be able to have children.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The absence of sperm requires first identifying the factors or causes and nature of the condition. There are congenital factors or causes, as well as those resulting from acquired conditions. Some cases have treatment options, while others do not have any meaningful treatment prospects. Sperm obtained through ejaculation or masturbation, with three consecutive tests failing to detect sperm, is referred to as azoospermia.Causes of azoospermia:
1. Testicular sperm production disorders:
(1) Anorchidism
(2) Cryptorchidism
(3) Congenital atrophy of the seminiferous tubules
(4) Orchitis
(5) Tuberculosis of the testes
(6) Genital tract injury: Testicular injury, varicocele torsion
(7) Radiation exposure
(8) Elevated local testicular temperature
(9) Consumption of cottonseed oil
(10) Varicocele and hypogonadism, etc.
2. Obstruction of the spermatic ducts:
(1) Congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens
(2) Injury to the reproductive tract
(3) Inflammation of the reproductive tract: Epididymitis, tuberculosis of the epididymis, prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, etc.
(4) Benign tumors of the seminal vesicles: Seminal vesicle cysts, etc.
It is recommended that you undergo further examinations to clarify the factors or causes of azoospermia and seek early treatment. Do not miss the optimal age for pregnancy. If you have any related questions, feel free to ask. Wishing you good health!
