Can men with dead sperm undergo IVF?

Patient's question:

I found out about azoospermia and had a testicular biopsy which revealed sperm-producing cells but they were significantly reduced, and no sperm were observed.

Doctor's answer:

Dead sperm cannot be used for IVF. The key to treating dead sperm syndrome is to treat prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis. At the same time, other causes of dead sperm syndrome should be given attention and actively treated, such as surgical treatment for varicocele, using hormone drugs to regulate endocrine function in the body, and supplementing various nutrients, etc.; Additionally, medication to promote sperm formation and enhance sperm vitality should be combined to comprehensively improve semen quality and increase the chances of female conception.
