What is azoospermia?
Azoospermia is a condition in which there is no measurable amount of sperm in a man’s semen. It is a leading cause of male infertility, and is found in five to 10 percent of men evaluated for infertility. It is usually detected when couples seek treatment for infertility. A diagnosis is confirmed through two semen samples taken at different times. Other diagnostic steps often include a physical exam, hormone testing, genetic screening and genital tract imaging.
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.
