obstructive azoospermia

The management of infertility due to obstructive azoospermia.

The main cause is a physical obstruction (obstructive azoospermia) of the posttesticular genital tracts.

Mutation of the CFTR gene is found to result in obstructive azoospermia in postpubertal males with cystic fibrosis.

For obstructive azoospermia IVF-ICSI or surgery can be used and individual factors need to be considered for the choice of treatment.
