Azoospermia

With an estimate of at least 1% of the male population possessing this condition. Azoospermia refers to when the male’s semen doesn’t contain sperm which is the root cause of infertility. This condition can be classified into two main types: obstructive azoospermia, where sperm is produced but blocked from being released, and non-obstructive azoospermia, where there is a problem with sperm production itself.

Is it a Treatable Disease?

 

It’s important to diagnose the type of the disease before the patient gets treatment. In the treatment for the type due to a block, a surgical operations opens the block in the ducts. We then remove the sperm. After that, the pregnancy process progresses naturally.

In cases where azoospermia is not due to a block, a surgical operation obtains sperm from the collecting ducts. After the final diagnosis, we give the Micro-TESE method, known as one of the best biopsy methods. This method examines the testicular tissue under a microscope and takes the tissue from places where sperm can be found. In rare cases, If we find no sperm, we send tissue samples for a diagnosis. According to the result, after the treatment method given by the doctor, the Micro-TESE process is applied again and we can obtain sperm.
