Azoospermia affects 1% of men, and it can be due to: (i) hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, (ii) primary quantitative spermatogenic disturbances, (iii) urogenital duct obstruction. Known genetic factors contribute to all these categories, and genetic testing is part of the routine diagnostic workup of azoospermic men.

Azoospermia is classified as obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), each having very different etiologies and treatments. The etiology, diagnosis, and management of azoospermia were reviewed and relevant literature summarized.

Bilharziasis and Azoospermia [PDF]
Two patients in their twenties were investigated for a complaint of primary sterility. Semen analysis, showed azoospermia and testicular biopsy showed inhibited spermatogenesis in association with bilharzia ova in the interstitium in both cases. No similar cases were reported previously in the literature.

Panhypopituatarism and Azoospermia [PDF]
Hypopituitarism may involve the loss of one, several or all hormones of the pituitary gland. It is therefore necessary to complete to determine which hormone (s) are defi cient and need to be replaced. Hormone replacement is possible for all hormones pituitary glands except for prolactin and oxytocin.

The epidemiology and etiology of azoospermia
The misconception that infertility is typically associated with the female is commonly faced in the management of infertile men. It is uncommon for a patient to present for an infertility evaluation with an abnormal semen analysis report before an extensive female partner workup has been performed.

Secretory azoospermia or non-obstructive azoospermia?
In the non-obstructive azoospermia versus the secretory azoospermia it is first necessary to have a clear assessment and definition and then takes care of the patient before the surgical sampling taking into account the age of the woman and in fine try to optimize the residual spermatogenesis.

Genetic defects in human azoospermia [PDF]
As with many other diseases, genetic testing in human azoospermia was initially restricted to karyotype analyses (leading to diagnostic chromosome rearrangement tests for Klinefelter and other syndromes). With the advent of molecular biology in the 1980s, genetic screening was broadened to analyses of Y chromosome microdeletions and the gene coding for

Abstract Background Hormone pre‐treatment is still used before assisted reproductive technique (ART) in endometriotic women, but evidence supporting this recommendation is conflicting. Objectives To evaluate whether hormone pre‐treatment with gonadotropin‐releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists or progestogens could improve fertility in women with ...

Pregnancy via Testicular Sperm Extraction for Anejaculation After Neuroblastoma Surgery
ABSTRACT Background Surgical treatment of a neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor of the sympathetic nervous system, may result in ejaculatory disorder. There are no reports examining ejaculation disorders after neuroblastoma surgery. Case Presentation The patient was a 31‐year‐old Japanese male who had undergone surgery for neuroblastoma of the abdomen at ...

ABSTRACT Introduction Spermatogenic dysfunction is a side effect of valganciclovir, which is commonly used to treat cytomegalovirus infections. Here, we report the case of a reproductive man who underwent kidney transplantation and was diagnosed with azoospermia after valganciclovir treatment for cytomegalovirus infection.
