Patient's question:
A few days ago, during a physical examination at my workplace, I was diagnosed with blocked vas deferens. This condition has also been the reason why I haven't been able to get pregnant after trying to conceive for half a year. I know that this disease is relatively difficult to treat, so now I want to understand what the clinical symptoms of this condition are.Doctor's answer:
Hello, symptoms of vas deferens obstruction:1. Absence of sperm or low sperm count in semen;
2. Normal or mildly reduced testicular size with normal texture, typical of male internal reproductive organs;
3. Abnormal palpation of the epididymis or vas deferens;
4. Mildly elevated or normal FSH blood levels.
Obstruction of the vas deferens can lead to obstructive azoospermia, also clinically referred to as pseudo-azoospermia. Its clinical manifestations and characteristics include:
- Absence of sperm or low sperm count in semen;
- Normal or mildly reduced testicular size with normal texture;
- Abnormal palpation of the epididymis or vas deferens;
- Mildly elevated or normal FSH blood levels.
