What is azoospermia?
What causes azoospermia?
Azoospermia can be caused by a blockage in the male genital system (obstructive azoospermia), or be the result of poor sperm production (nonobstructive azoospermia).
Obstructive azoospermia can be triggered by an infection in the testicles, prostate or other parts of the male reproductive system. It can also be the result of trauma to the sex organs from surgery, radiation, or by an injury to the pelvis, lower abdomen or spine.
Nonobstructive azoospermia can be caused by a genital injury, varicose veins in the scrotum (a condition known as varicocele), radiation and chemotherapy.
The use of steroids, antibiotics, alcohol, smoking and illegal drug use can trigger nonobstructive azoospermia. Exposure to environmental factors such as pesticides, heavy metals and extreme heat also boost the risk for developing the condition. A genetic predisposition or family history can be a factor in both obstructive and nonobstructive azoospermia.
