Obstructive Azoospermia

Obstructive azoospermia is a condition in men where sperm is not present in the semen due to a blockage in the reproductive tract. This obstruction prevents sperm produced in the testicles from reaching the semen, which can be caused by congenital issues, infections, or surgeries. As a result, it can lead to infertility despite normal sperm production. Diagnosis often involves medical evaluations and tests. Treatment options may include surgery to remove the blockage or assisted reproductive techniques like sperm extraction combined with in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help achieve pregnancy.
