With the acceleration of the pace of life, people's life pressure is also increasing, especially for men. In addition, unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking, drinking, and going to bars are leading to deteriorating health, resulting in an increasing number of male infertility patients. Obstructive azoospermia is a type of male infertility disease. Most people can understand that there is no azoospermia, but only a few people express understanding for obstructive azoospermia. So what exactly is obstructive azoospermia? Can obstructive azoospermia be cured? Next, the editor will lead you to explore the knowledge about obstructive azoospermia.
Firstly, let's understand what obstructive azoospermia is. Obstructive azoospermia is a male infertility condition caused by obstruction of the bilateral vas deferens, which hinders the transport of sperm. Obstructive azoospermia is divided into testicular obstruction and epididymal obstruction. Testicular obstruction accounts for 15% of obstructive azoospermia, and most of them are caused by acquired factors. Epididymal obstruction is a common cause of obstructive azoospermia.
Can obstructive azoospermia be cured? Obstructive azoospermia is not the absence of sperm, but rather the blockage of the vas deferens that prevents sperm from being expelled from the body.
The spermatogenic ability of male testicles with this condition is basically normal or normal, so it is only necessary to open the epididymis, vas deferens or ejaculatory duct. In treatment, methods such as vas deferens vas deferens anastomosis, vas deferens epididymis anastomosis, or transurethral ejaculation incision can be used to open up the vas deferens duct. But if there are obstructions in multiple locations, it is difficult to clear them and the success rate is relatively low. In this case, second-generation IVF can be used for treatment. However, due to congenital underdevelopment or absence of the vas deferens, obstructive azoospermia can only be treated with second-generation IVF by extracting sperm from the epididymis or testes.
When suffering from obstructive azoospermia, don't worry. First, go to the hospital to identify the cause of the obstruction, and then take corresponding treatment methods for treatment.
