Azoospermia: Diagnosis and management

Abstract

Azoospermia is one of the major reproductive disorders which cause male infertility in humans; however, the etiology of this disease is largely unknown. The reliable diagnosis of the absence of spermatozoa in a semen sample is an important criterion not only for diagnosing male infertility but also for ascertaining the success of vasectomy and for determining the efficacy of hormonal contraception (Aziz 2013).
