For couples struggling with infertility, receiving semen analysis results can be a key moment. When the report indicates a zero sperm count, it can cause concern. If you are facing this diagnosis, understanding what is azoospermia and its clinical causes is the first step toward finding a solution.
This comprehensive guide explains the difference between obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia, the diagnostic evaluations required, and the modern treatments that allow men with zero sperm to father biological children.
Causes and Extraction Methods
Azoospermia features zero sperm count in semen. Obstructive causes are due to blockages, while non-obstructive causes are due to production issues (commonly varicocele, read our varicocele guide). Sperm is extracted via TESA and used for ICSI. Read details in our TESA procedure guide.
