Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My husband is suffering from azoospermia. I do not know what to do. I do not know any good infertility center and specialized doctor. I want a biological child only. Please suggest what to do. How can I come to know whether it is obstructive or non-obstructive? Please reply. He has hard pimples on his testicle. Are these the reason of blockage?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Is there any report of your husband? Smoking, cocaine and other recreational drugs and few other medicines like anti-cancerous can affect male fertility. It is better to quit all recreational drugs. If he has been treated for any disease better to have full assessment and treatment. Drugs that he has been on should be discussed in detail in view of infertility. Have healthy lifestyle with nutritious balanced diet, exercise yoga, and other recreational activities.

Non-obstructive azoospermia is no sperm in semen due to abnormal production of sperm. The reason for this is hormonal imbalance, testicular failure or varicocele and dilated vein in testicles (varicose veins), genetic abnormalities, cryptorchidism (presence of small testicles), etc. The treatment could be testicular sperm extraction with ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). In obstructive azoospermia, reasons could be due to obstructed epididymis or congenital absence of vas deferens as in cystic fibrosis but normal healthy sperm production is there. So sperm retrieval is advised for ICSI. Better to contact infertility centers. As detailed examination and history are needed for treatment and then for conception.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
