Azoospermia is the medical term used when there are no sperm in the ejaculate.
It can be “obstructive,” where there is a blockage preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate, or it can be “nonobstructive” when it is due to decreased sperm production by the testis.
A cystic accumulation of blood in the spermatic cord. It is a most common anatomical abnormality of the veins, especially Pampiniform plexus.
Varicocele is mostly found as left sided where the spermatic vein empties in the left renal vein. In short, varicoceles cause insufficient drainage of the blood from the testes that causes excessive pooling of the blood resulting in higher intra-scrotal temperature, very rarely retrograde ejaculations occur into the urinary bladder in cases of:
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Hodgkin’s disease (prior to retroperitoneal dissection).
- Prostatectomy.
- Neurological dysfunction.
Types of Azoospermia
There are three main types of azoospermia:
Pretesticular azoospermia:
When testicles are normal, but patient’s body can’t get them to make sperm. It might happen because of low hormone levels or after patient had chemotherapy. (This type is very rare).
Testicular azoospermia:
Damage to the testicles keeps them from making sperm normally. It can happen because of:
- An infection in patient’s reproductive tract, such as epididymitis and urethritis.
- A childhood illness such as viral orchitis, which causes swelling of one or both testicles.
- A groin injury.
- Cancer or its treatments, like radiation.
- Genetic conditions such as Klinefelter’s syndrome.
Post-testicular azoospermia:
- A blockage in the tubes that carry sperm from testicles to penis. This is called obstructive azoospermia.
- A vasectomy.
- Retrograde ejaculation, when semen goes into your bladder instead of out of your penis during an orgasm.
About 40% of men with azoospermia have the post-testicular type.
Diagnosis of Azoospermia
- First, take samples of patient’s semen, If the lab examines show no sperm in patient’s semen on two separate occasions, then he has azoospermia.
- Now try to figure out what’s causing the problem. A complete physical exam, medical history and blood test to measure patient’s hormone levels.
- If hormone levels are normal, then the patient should be referred for scrotal or transrectal ultrasound to look for an obstruction.
- An MRI may confirm the diagnosis.
- If patient don’t have a blockage, genetic tests can find out if he has a problem in his genes.
Allopathic treatments and Fertility
There are a few types of treatment that can help men with azoospermia.
In allopathic medicine, if patient have the obstructive type, surgery can remove the blockage. The more recent is the blockage, the more likely it is that the surgery will be successful.
Another way is the sperm retrieval can help men with nonobstructive azoospermia or those who have a blockage but don’t want surgery.
One way to do this is to use a tiny needle to draw sperm from patient’s testicle. Then use it later in vitro fertilization (IVF).
