According to its etiology, azoospermia can be divided into two types: true azoospermia and false azoospermia. Generally without clinical symptoms, some patients have a history of prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, epididymitis, epididymitis tuberculosis, and other diseases. Some patients have local signs such as testicular dysplasia, testicular atrophy, epididymal nodules, and other systemic symptoms.
Correctly distinguish true from false azoospermia
Experts point out that men should pay attention to the development of secondary sexual characteristics and external genitalia during physical examinations. If the testicular volume is less than 10 milliliters and the texture is abnormally soft, it often indicates poor testicular function. Palpation should pay attention to whether the epididymis and vas deferens have abnormalities, nodules, etc.
True azoospermia is also called "congenital azoospermia", because the testicular spermatid cells atrophy and degenerate and cannot produce sperm. Pseudo azoospermia refers to that the testicle can produce sperm, but because the vas deferens is cold, the sperm cannot be discharged, so it is also called obstructive azoospermia. Azoospermia is rare in clinic, but they basically or completely lose fertility. Through the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment, there are also cases of effective pregnancy, but the vast majority are irreversible, so they belong to the category of absolute infertility. The absence of sperm in semen prevents a woman from conceiving and is a fundamental disease of male infertility.
Have you distinguished true from false azoospermia? For patients with true azoospermia, it is not necessary to give up treatment in despair. With the continuous development and progress of modern medicine, it is believed that azoospermia will eventually be conquered.
