Azoospermia Natural Treatment: Azoospermia Symptoms and Causes
Azoospermia means : semen without sperm. When a man ejaculates after orgasm, no sperm is found in his ejaculate (semen). This condition causes male infertility. How common is it? It is said that around 1% of all men have azoospermia; and around 10% to 15% of infertile males are diagnosed with azoospermia.
It is said that there are two types of azoospermia.
1. Non-obstructive azoospermia. In this type of azoospermia, a man has poor or no sperm because of the defects in the function or structure of the testicles, or other health conditions.
2. Obstructive azoospermia. In this type of azoospermia, a man’s ejaculate has no sperm because of some obstruction. It could have due to a missing connection or a blockage in vas deferens, epididymis, or in some other place, including the reproductive tract.

Symptoms of Azoospermia
Azoospermia is a lack of live sperm in a man’s ejaculate (semen). Apart from this, it has no particular symptoms.
If the male partner has azoospermia, the couple trying to conceive will have infertility problems. If the male partner has the nil sperm count, the female partner will not get pregnant. If a couple does not achieve pregnancy in spite of unprotected sex for one year, it indicates infertility.
In this case, the couple must seek guidance from a doctor. The doctor will ask for information about the history of their health issues, and will do tests, if needed, to diagnose the cause of infertility. It is also important for the doctor to find out which partner is infertile so that the necessary treatment can be given to the infertile partner.
