Patient's question:
It seems like I might have a blocked vas deferens. I want to check if that's the case. What are the symptoms of a blocked vas deferens? How is it treated? Which hospital should I go to?Doctor's answer:
Vas deferens obstruction generally manifests as: 1. Absence of sperm or a low sperm count in the semen; 2. Normal or slightly reduced testicular size with essentially normal texture; 3. Abnormal palpation of the epididymis or vas deferens; 4. Essentially normal or mildly elevated blood FSH levels. Obstruction of the spermatic ducts can cause obstructive azoospermia, which is also clinically referred to as pseudo-azoospermia. Its clinical manifestations and characteristics include: normal testicular size, absence of sperm, normal serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and testosterone, and normal results from testicular biopsy pathology.Infertility caused by vas deferens obstruction is a relatively common clinical phenomenon. I still recommend you seek treatment at a professional hospital. Shanghai Changjiang Hospital of Urology and Obstetrics is an authoritative institution with excellent treatments for different types of vas deferens obstruction. You can first visit their official website to learn more, and then proceed with treatment at the hospital.
