No Sperm Doesn’t Mean No Hope
A diagnosis of azoospermia — complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate — can come as a shock. But thanks to advancements in reproductive medicine, fatherhood is still possible for many men with this condition. At Sparsh IVF, we specialize in diagnosing and treating azoospermia with a combination of clinical expertise, microsurgical precision, and compassionate care.
Whether the cause is hormonal, genetic, or structural, our goal is to find the solution that brings you one step closer to fatherhood.
Azoospermia is the complete absence of sperm in a man’s semen. It affects about 1% of all men and up to 15% of infertile men. Despite sounding final, it’s a condition that can often be treated or bypassed through assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
There are two main types:
| Type | Description | Treatment Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Obstructive Azoospermia (OA) | Sperm is produced but blocked from release | Surgical retrieval or correction |
| Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) | Testicles are not producing sperm | Hormonal stimulation or sperm retrieval |
Understanding which type of azoospermia you have is the first step to building your fertility plan.
Caused by blockages in the reproductive tract:
Caused by testicular failure or hormonal issues:

1. Surgical Correction
2. Surgical Sperm Retrieval
→ Sperm retrieved is used for IVF-ICSI, not IUI.
1. Medical Management
2. Micro TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction)
Success depends on testicular histology and hormonal profile, but many NOA patients have achieved biological fatherhood with Micro TESE + ICSI.
