Sperm cannot be found in the ejaculated semen of men for three consecutive times, which is called azoospermia. Patients with azoospermia have no fertility. Clinical data show that azoospermia accounts for about 15% - 20% of male infertility patients. So, what is azoospermia?
Expert details: the cause of azoospermia
Experts from authoritative hospitals said that the causes of azoospermia can be divided into congenital dysplasia and acquired external causes. Congenital is congenital hypoplasia of convoluted tubules, which is commonly acquired, including genital injury, radioactive factors, local high temperature of testis, varicocele, low gonadal function, etc.
1. Congenital tubule hypoplasia:
It is one of the reasons for the development of the patient. There is no abnormality in the testicular position of the patient, but there is a problem in the occurrence of sperm.
2. Genital injury:
External factors lead to testicular torsion, injury, spermatic cord torsion, etc., hernia repair surgery or prostate surgery trauma, and also affect testicular function, and sperm production disorders of patients.
3. Radioactive elements:
In the face of strong radiation and electromagnetic waves, it has a great impact on men and can only be prevented.
4. Local high temperature of testis:
Long-term sauna, hot bath or other factors can affect the development of male sperm.
5. Varicocele:
This situation will seriously affect the testicular blood supply of men, thus affecting the testicular spermatogenesis function of men, and also lead to the reduction or disappearance of a large number of sperm. Most of these patients can recover their fertility function after timely treatment.
6. Low gonadal function:
Such patients are rare in clinical practice, but such a phenomenon occurs in a few people.
Experts understand the treatment of azoospermia in detail
In the treatment of azoospermia, it is first necessary to determine the cause. Generally speaking, azoospermia is divided into two types: testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction and inability to produce sperm. Of course, testicular spermatogenesis is normal, but sperm cannot be discharged due to blockage of the spermatic duct. The treatment of male azoospermia is as follows:
1. Obstruction of seminal duct:
For azoospermia caused by blockage, first of all, the cause and location of blockage should be clarified, and first of all, material treatment should not be blindly used. At present, microsurgical diagnosis and treatment are often carried out at the same time to dredge the sperm pathway, and 20% of patients may have children. The testicular biopsy was normal. Considering that the cause of azoospermia is obstruction of the vas deferens, it can be treated surgically.
