Patient's question:
I have been infertile for two years and want to have children, but I don't know where to get good treatment.Doctor's answer:
Men with azoospermia, a condition where no sperm is present in their semen, account for approximately 15% of male infertility cases. Azoospermia is defined as the absence of sperm in multiple semen analyses (usually three or more). There are two main types of azoospermia:1. Primary azoospermia (or non-obstructive azoospermia), where the testicles themselves have a functional disorder, preventing sperm production.
2. Obstructive azoospermia, where the testicles have normal sperm production, but the sperm cannot be expelled from the body due to blocked reproductive ducts.
The causes of azoospermia can be classified into two major categories:
1. Testicular failure, where sperm production is impaired.
2. Normal testicular sperm production, where sperm are produced but cannot be expelled from the body due to obstructed reproductive ducts, known as ejaculatory azoospermia.
