Zero Sperm Count In Men: If you want to become a father and you suddenly find out that your sperm count has suddenly become zero. You might be thinking that this happens rarely, but it does happen and it is called azoospermia. Azoospermia is a condition when there is no sperm present in the semen of a man. It can be of two types – obstructive, in which due to some obstruction the sperm cannot reach the semen, and non-obstructive, in which the problem occurs in the process of sperm formation itself. Let us tell you when this problem occurs and what is its treatment.
How common is this problem?
Now the question comes that how common is this problem, the answer is quite a lot. If about 10 percent of men are struggling with infertility, then overall azoospermia is found in 1 percent of them.
What are the causes of azoospermia?
There can be many reasons for this happening. Some genetic conditions like Klinefelter syndrome, some medical treatments like chemotherapy or radiation and many other reasons. The most obvious reason could also be vasectomy, in which sperm are not able to mix with other fluids. In many cases the cause is not fully understood, such as pregnancy or poor testicular development in childhood.
How to deal with this problem
According to Hopkinsmedicine, first of all meet a male infertility expert. After this it is necessary to get the semen analysis done again. In a lab that specializes in sperm testing, because there can be a lot of difference in reports from different places. It is also important to know whether small amounts of sperm are present or not, because this can completely change the course of treatment. Earlier, almost every azoospermic man had to undergo biopsy to determine whether the problem was obstructive or non-obstructive. But now biopsy is usually not done alone, because in most cases even without biopsy it can be estimated whether there is a blockage or sperm are not being produced.
During testicular dissection, it has been found that the condition of sperm formation can be different in different parts of the testis. At some places less sperm are being produced, at some places maturation stops, and at some places sperm producing cells are not present at all. For this reason, diagnostic biopsy alone often does not change treatment.
How is treatment decided?
It completely depends on the patient. Many factors like the age of the partner, fertility of both, medical reports, family plans and financial situation decide the treatment.
In some people, removing the blockage such as vasectomy reversal, in some people quitting harmful drugs or addictions, in some people correcting hormonal problems and in some varicocele surgery may be helpful. For many men, ART is the best option by extracting sperm directly from the testicles.
