Azoospermia is a medical condition where there is no measurable sperm in a man's semen. It affects about 1% of all men and 10-15% of infertile men. There are two types: obstructive azoospermia (blockage preventing sperm from reaching semen) and non-obstructive azoospermia (testicles produce little or no sperm).
Yes! With modern fertility treatments like Micro TESE and IVF-ICSI, men with zero sperm count can become biological fathers. Dr. Arun Muthuvel has helped hundreds of azoospermia patients achieve parenthood through surgical sperm retrieval and IVF.
Azoospermia can be caused by genetic factors (Klinefelter syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions), hormonal imbalances, infections (mumps orchitis), varicocele, undescended testicles, prior surgeries (vasectomy, hernia repair), chemotherapy/radiation, or medications.
Obstructive azoospermia (OA) occurs when sperm is produced normally but blocked from reaching the semen due to blockage in the vas deferens or ejaculatory ducts. Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) occurs when the testicles produce very little or no sperm due to testicular failure. Treatment approach differs significantly between the two.
Treatment depends on the type. For obstructive azoospermia, surgical correction or TESA/TESE can retrieve sperm. For non-obstructive azoospermia, Micro TESE (microsurgical testicular sperm extraction) is the gold standard, followed by IVF-ICSI. Dr. Arun Muthuvel has performed 200+ Micro TESE procedures — the highest in India.
Azoospermia is diagnosed through at least two semen analyses showing zero sperm. Further evaluation includes hormone tests (FSH, LH, testosterone), genetic testing, physical examination, and sometimes testicular biopsy to determine if it's obstructive or non-obstructive.
