Popis: | Azoospermia is the complete absence of sperm in a semen specimen. Azoospermia might be a result of a nonobstructive condition, most often an inherited or genetic condition, or an obstructive condition, which is a result of a blockage of the tubes conveying the sperm from the testicles. Following laboratory examination of two to three separate semen specimens, it is essential for the physician to conduct a thorough history and physical examination to determine the potential cause of the azoospermia and determine if the causes are treatable. |
