Azoospermia: Causes & Reasons

Possible Causes for Azoospermia

Microdeletions in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region of the Y chromosome were detected by multiplex PCR using 16 specific sequence-tagged sites. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract We investigated azoospermia region microdeletions in male infertility patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KFS), as well as the association between azoospermia symptoms [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vasectomy

Time to achieve azoospermia was variable, although the median incidence of patients with azoospermia was consistently more than 80% after 3 months and after 20 ejaculations [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The primary outcome measure was time to azoospermia. [doi.org]
