Azoospermia is a medical condition in which there is absence of sperms in male semen. Nowadays, it has been very common. About 1% of all men suffer from azoospermia. Nearly 10-15% of infertile men have azoospermia.

It can be of two types depending on the cause – obstructive and non-obstructive. When there is blockage in the reproductive tract causing sperm to not enter in semen during ejaculation, it is called obstructive azoospermia.
