Azoospermia

About Azoospermia

Azoospermia is the medical term used when the semen contains no sperm during ejaculation.
It can be “obstructive” and non-obstructive, obstructive means there is a blockage that prevents sperm from entering the ejaculate, or “non-obstructive” means decreased sperm production by the testis. It is associated with male infertility.  It happens approx 1% of all men and 15% of infertile men.
