Patient's question:
When preparing to get married, I went to the hospital for a pre-marital thorough examination. To my surprise, I found out that I have azoospermia, which means I cannot have children. I want to understand the reasons and seek targeted treatment. What are the causes of male azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Common causes of testicular spermatogenic dysfunction include:Anorchidism
The testes are the only organs responsible for producing sperm. Without testes, sperm production is impossible. Since there are no testes, there is no treatment value.
Bilateral cryptorchidism
In this condition, the testes fail to descend to their proper location in the scrotum and remain in the abdomen. The temperature in the abdomen is much higher than in the scrotum, making it impossible for sperm to develop. This can also lead to azoospermia (absence of sperm).
For male patients, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention at a professional and reputable hospital. Treatment should be considered based on the results of thorough examinations. Additionally, proper diet and abstinence from sexual activity should be maintained.
