Azoospermia

Azoospermia, also known as zero sperm count, means that sperm are not present in the ejaculate. There are two types:

  • Non-obstructive azoospermia is the most common type and means there is a problem with sperm production.
  • Obstructive azoospermia, means sperm is being produced, but there is an obstruction or blockage of the reproductive tract.

Depending on the cause and type of azoospermia, the blockage may be corrected surgically, or a method of sperm retrieval may be used.
