Differentiation between nonobstructive azoospermia and obstructive azoospermia: then and now [PDF]
Asian Journal of AndrologyMale infertility has seen an increase in prevalence with cases of azoospermia estimated to affect 10%–15% of infertile men. Confirmation of azoospermia subsequently necessitates an early causal differentiation between obstructive azoospermia (OA) and ...
