What Is Azoospermia

What is azoospermia ("no sperm count"), it is a medical condition of a man not having any measurable level of sperm in his semen. It is associated with very low levels of fertility or even sterility, but many forms are amenable to medical treatment. Normally, the testicles in a man’s scrotum produce sperm that then flow through the male reproductive system to mix with fluid in the seminal ducts to form semen. Semen is the thick, white fluid released from the penis during ejaculation. Azoospermia is found in 5 to 10 percent of men evaluated for infertility. The condition may be present at birth or may develop later in life.


A detailed semen analysis is required to show potential causes of male infertility that may present,

(1) Complete absence of sperm (azoospermia),

(2) Low sperm count (oligozoospermia),

(3) Abnormal sperm shape (teratozoospermia),

(4) Problems with sperm movement (asthenozoospermia),

(5) Completely immobile sperm (necrozoospermia), where the sperm may be alive and not moving, or they may be dead.

(6) Problems with sperm delivery, due to sexual dysfunction, an obstruction, previous vasectomy, or retrograde ejaculation.

If you’re looking for the best ways to stop "Azoospermia", then I’m glad you’ve found this website.

Azoospermia can be classified into three(3) major types as listed;

Pretesticular Azoospermia:- Pre-testicular azoospermia is characterized by inadequate stimulation of otherwise normal testicles and genital tract.
Testicular Azoospermia:- In this situation the testes are abnormal, atrophic, or absent, and sperm production severely disturbed to absent. FSH levels tend to be elevated (hypergonadotropic) as the feedback loop is interrupted
Posttesticular Azoospermia:- In Post-testicular azoospermia sperm are produced but not ejaculated, a condition that affects 7-51% of azoospermic men. The main cause is a physical obstruction (obstructive azoospermia) of the post-testicular genital tracts.


Azoospermia Causes?
What is the causes of infertility, a lack of sperm in the ejaculate can be due to blockage of the male genital system (obstructive azoospermia) with completely normal sperm production or the result of poor sperm production (non-obstructive azoospermia), which interferes with the production of sperm.

Obstructive azoospermia can be caused by the following:
  • Genetic: Certain genes, present at birth, may cause abnormal development and blockage of the male genital tract.
  • Trauma or surgery or radiation: Injury to the male sex organs or previous injury to the pelvis, lower abdomen, or spine may affect sperm production and block the flow of sperm. Prior surgeries or radiation to the abdomen, pelvis (such as a hernia) can also lead to blockage of normal sperm flow.
  • Infections: An infection of the testicles, prostate, or other parts of the male reproductive system may lead to blockage and azoospermia (such as those that cause cystic fibrosis).
Non-obstructive Azoospermia can be caused by:
  • Drugs: Steroids, antibiotics, and other drugs may affect male fertility. Drinking alcohol, smoking, and certain illegal drugs may also cause problems with sperm production.
  • Radiation: Radiation, such as that used to treat cancer, may affect sperm production including chemotherapy for prior cancer.
  • Other factors: Pesticides, heavy metals, heat, genital injuries, and undescended testes also may affect sperm production.
  • Varicocele: Veins (blood vessels) in the scrotum may become enlarged and widened which can impair normal sperm production.
  • Genetic: The presence of certain genes at birth can affect sperm production or the formation of the male sex organs.

What are the signs and symptoms of Azoospermia?
Signs of infertility in men may include any of the following:
  • Inability to get your partner pregnant.
  • Testicles that are small, soft, or non-palpable (cannot be felt).
  • Increased body fat, body hair, and breast tissue.
  • Clear, watery, or whitish discharge from the penis.
  • Presence of a mass or swelling on the scrotum that feels like a bag of worms (varicocele).
  • Stress or emotional pressure from not being able to conceive a child.
  • Veins that are enlarged, twisted, and may be seen in the scrotum (varicocele).

Is Azoospermia Treatable or Curable?
What causes low sperm count and the ability to treat or cure azoospermia depends on the cause of the condition. In obstructive cases that involve a blockage, the sperm flow will likely be resolved when the blockage is removed through surgery. Non-obstructive azoospermia, however, typically represents a greater challenge. Blood tests for certain hormones will indicate whether (or not) sperm is being produced in the testicles, and medication may be prescribed to regulate these hormones. Aside from medication and surgical intervention, there are a number of ways to increase male fertility through a diet of fertility foods, lifestyle changes, exercise, and maya abdominal massage.


The ideal sex position for conception allows deep penetration where semen can be deposited close to the cervix. As such, any position that gets the semen close to the cervix is good for getting pregnant.
