How is the treatment of azoospermia?

-

In order to determine which is the best treatment, it is necessary to distinguish the type of azoospermia with which we are, that is, we must determine if we are dealing with a case of secretory azoospermia (non-obstructive azoospermia ) or obstructive azoospermia .

In addition, we must bear in mind that there are numerous cases of irreversible azoospermia, that is, situations in which we will not be able to obtain sperm in the ejaculate despite the treatment given.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article.

Natural treatment

If the azoospermia is secretory and originated by a problem of stress or by consuming a drug, it would be enough to leave aside the causative agent, that is, reduce stress or stop taking the medication. Thus, it is expected that, after a while, the testicles return to produce sperm normally.

Another natural treatment is called andean maca, a herbaceous plant native to the Andes of Peru and Bolivia known for its aphrodisiac properties and benefits in male fertility. In Latin America the belief has been extended that it improves testosterone levels and, therefore, can help to solve secretory azoospermia.

Andean Maca for azoospermia

Given a case of azoospermia maintained over time, that is, not caused by stress or taking a drug in a specific period, there is no home remedy that can make the testicle make sperm.

There is also no natural alternative to unblock the seminal ducts in cases of obstructive azoospermia.

Hormone treatment

When the profile of the patient with secretory azoospermia corresponds to a man without problems at testicular level and with low levels of hormone FSH, azoospermia could be solved with the external administration of this hormone.

This occurs when, for some determined problem, your pituitary gland no longer secretes enough hormone to stimulate the production of sperm in the testicle. This is what is known as hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

If the problem is caused by the absence or imbalance in another hormone such as GnRH or testosterone, a personalized hormone treatment can help resume sperm production.

If the cause of the problem is testicular, there is no direct hormonal treatment that can cause the testicle to produce sperm to resolve azoospermia infertility.

Neither in case of obstructive azoospermia will it be possible to apply a hormone treatment, since the hormonal levels and sperm production are not altered. The problem in this case is anatomical, that is, physical.

Assisted reproduction, like any medical treatment, requires that you trust the professionalism of the doctors and clinic you choose. Obviously, not all are equal.

Therefore, this "tool" will send you a fully customized report, with all the detailed information of the clinics in your area that meet our quality criteria and budgets. It also includes tips that will be very useful when making the first visits to clinics.

According to the latest report of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), in 2016 were carried out 138,553 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and 36,463 cycles of artificial insemination (AI), which resulted in a total of 37,503 babies born .
