Male infertility is due to low sperm production, abnormal sperm function or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors can play a role in causing male infertility.
Include:
• Problems with sexual function — for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
• Pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area
• Recurrent respiratory infections
• Inability to smell
• Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia)
• Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality
• Having a lower than normal sperm count (fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate)
Diagnosing male infertility problems usually involves:
• General physical examination and medical history.
• Semen analysis.
• Scrotal ultrasound.
• Hormone testing.
• Post-ejaculation urinalysis.
• Genetic tests.
• Testicular biopsy.
• Specialized sperm function tests.
• Transrectal ultrasound.
Treatment of obstructive Azospermia:
• Vasovasstomy
• Epididymo vastostomy
• Testicular biopsy
Vasovasostomy and vasoepididymostomy are surgical procedures designed to bypass an obstruction in the male genital tract. These procedures are usually performed to restore fertility, although they are occasionally undertaken to relieve pain, such as in postvasectomy pain syndromes.
