What Is Meant by Azoospermia and How Could It Affect Your Fertility?

When talking about infertility, many people think it’s a female issue. It is far from true as thinking like this might hurt your chances to get pregnant. If you don’t look into the health and fertility of the male and female, you could miss out on the treatment options that help you to conceive.

When you and your partner are trying to get pregnant for more than six months, it is time to start taking tests for both male and female infertility.

As the lingering social stigma surrounds male factor infertility, it is harder to find resources on possible treatments and causes.

But talking once to your doctor about male infertility would determine what is causing the infertility. You can then figure out the best way to treat them. Males having a low sperm count has been one of the reasons for infertility.

For some men, it goes even beyond that. Azoospermia is the medical condition involved, where it has no sperm in the semen. The diagnosis might sound scary, but it doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to conceive.

What is meant by azoospermia?

Almost 10-15% of men have male factor infertility that experiences some form of azoospermia, causing one of the significant causes of male factor infertility. It has two different types of conditions each having unique causes and treatment.

When your sperm production is normal and you have a blockage between the testes and urethra, preventing your sperm from reaching the semen on ejaculation is said as Obstructive azoospermia.

Men with obstructive azoospermia would notice the reduced volume of semen as they ejaculate. Obstructive azoospermia is the easiest type of azoospermia for treatment. Once treated, men with obstructive azoospermia can see improvements in their sperm count and fertility.

Another type of azoospermia is known as non-obstructive azoospermia. It means the sperm production is reduced so much that sperm cannot be detected in the semen. In a few cases, it could mean that the testes don’t produce sperm at all. Even when this is the case, you may still have options. Several cases of non-obstructive azoospermia can be treated or reversed.

What might cause azoospermia?

Various factors contribute to infertility but the cause of azoospermia can be traced to a plethora of physical, genetic, and environmental causes. Few cases can be easily treated or might be preventable, but others need extensive testing or surgery.

The common causes of obstructive azoospermia

Prostatectomy or Vasectomy.
Having Cystic Fibrosis.
Obstruction or missing connection of the reproductive system that include vas deferens and epididymis.
Infection of the reproductive tract of testicles and prostate. Infections include venereal diseases like chlamydia.
Trauma or Testicular injury.
Cyst growth in the reproductive tract.

Common reasons for non-obstructive azoospermia

The side effects of drugs and medications particularly the chronic use of narcotics.
Having a history of testosterone replacement therapy.
Chemotherapy and Radiation – It causes the pituitary or hypothalamus disorders to affect sperm production.
Varicoceles – This happens when the veins of the scrotum are enlarged.
The genetic abnormalities.
Kidney failure, diabetes and cirrhosis of the liver.
Kallmann syndrome – is a genetic disorder leading to low levels of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which serves harder for the pituitary gland to secrete the needed hormones for the healthy function of reproductive organs.
Testicular conditions like testicles not dropped into the scrotum (cryptorchidism) and complete absence of testicles (anorchia).
Testicles fail to produce the complete mature sperm cells (spermatogenic arrest).

Knowing the reasons for azoospermia might help you prevent or treat the condition. For instance, when possible, you must avoid exposure to radiation and activities that injure the reproductive organs when looking to conceive. Moreover, research the side effects of medications you consume and ensure that it won’t impair sperm production.
