Patient's question:
I have been married to my wife for over two years, and she has not been pregnant. Recently, we went to the hospital for infertility testing. After my semen test, I was diagnosed with azoospermia. How effective is the treatment for azoospermia?Doctor's answer:
Azoospermia mainly refers to a condition where, during a semen analysis, the sperm morphology shows no abnormalities, and the sperm density is within the normal range, but the majority of the sperm are dying. A detailed examination of the semen reveals that if dead sperm account for more than 40%, it can be diagnosed as azoospermia. This may be due to improper examination methods or the artificial increase of dead sperm caused by not following normal regulations, or it may be cases where sperm motility is extremely weak or non-motile but not truly dead sperm, which does not fall under this category. Azoospermia is a common cause of male infertility.
