Male Infertility / Obstructive Azoospermia

Obstructive Azoospermia

At Rebirth Women’s Clinic, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Obstructive Azoospermia — a condition in which sperm production is normal, but a blockage prevents sperm from being released in the semen. With advanced microsurgical and assisted reproductive techniques, we help couples achieve parenthood even in challenging male infertility cases.

What Is Obstructive Azoospermia?

Obstructive Azoospermia occurs when the sperm ducts are blocked or absent, preventing sperm from reaching the ejaculate. Despite normal sperm production, sperm cannot travel out of the testes due to obstruction.

At Rebirth Women’s Clinic, evaluation of Obstructive Azoospermia helps ensure:

  • Accurate diagnosis of the cause of obstruction

  • Selection of the right treatment approach

  • Improved sperm retrieval success rates

  • Better outcomes with IVF–ICSI

  • Higher chances of pregnancy for affected couples

Our Approach to Managing Obstructive Azoospermia

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

We perform semen analysis, hormonal tests, scrotal ultrasound, and genetic screening to confirm obstruction and identify underlying causes such as vasectomy, infections, congenital absence of vas deferens, or injury.

Microsurgical Correction Options

In cases where possible, microsurgical procedures like Vasoepididymostomy or Vasovasostomy can restore sperm flow and allow natural conception.

Sperm Retrieval Techniques

For couples planning IVF–ICSI, sperm can be retrieved directly from testes or epididymis through techniques like:

  • PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

  • MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

  • TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)

  • TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)

ICSI for Fertilization

Once viable sperm are retrieved, ICSI is used to fertilize the egg by injecting a single sperm directly into it—ensuring excellent fertilization rates.

Genetic Counseling

For conditions like congenital absence of vas deferens (often linked to CFTR gene mutations), genetic counseling and testing are recommended for safe conception.
