What is Obstructive Azoospermia?

Obstructive azoospermia occurs when sperm is produced in the testicles but cannot exit the body due to a blockage in the reproductive tract. Unlike non-obstructive azoospermia, this condition involves normal sperm production, but no sperm appears in the semen due to a transport issue.

This means that while natural conception may be difficult, the potential for retrieving viable sperm for assisted reproduction remains very high.

What Causes Obstruction in the Male Reproductive Tract?

There are several medical and surgical causes that can block the flow of sperm:

• Vasectomy (surgical birth control procedure)
• Congenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD) – often associated with cystic fibrosis gene mutations
• Infections like epididymitis or prostatitis, leading to scarring
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and inflammation
• Prior surgeries, including hernia repairs or pelvic operations
• Cysts or calcifications blocking the ejaculatory ducts
• Testicular trauma

At VIVILITY, our diagnostic approach uncovers the exact cause so we can treat it effectively.

How to Know if You Might Have Obstructive Azoospermia

This condition is often silent, but certain signs may raise suspicion:

• Normal testicular size and hormone levels
• No sperm in ejaculate despite multiple semen tests
• Low semen volume
• Normal libido and sexual function
• No physical symptoms of infertility

If you’re trying to conceive and haven’t had success after a year, a comprehensive evaluation is recommended.

Accurate Testing to Confirm the Cause of Azoospermia at VIVILITY KSA

At VIVILITY, our state-of-the-art diagnostic workflow helps identify obstructive azoospermia with precision:

• Semen Analysis (twice) – to confirm azoospermia
• Hormone Testing – FSH, LH, and testosterone
• Scrotal Ultrasound – to check the epididymis, vas deferens, and testicles
• Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) – to assess ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicles
• Genetic Testing (CFTR mutation analysis) – to identify congenital causes
• Testicular Biopsy – distinguishes between obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia

Our fertility centers in Dammam, Mecca, and Medina offer fast and confidential testing. Book now.

Minimally Invasive Treatments and Surgical Solutions Available

Once the obstruction is confirmed, several treatments are available based on the exact blockage site:

1. Sperm Retrieval Procedures

• PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
• TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
• MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

These are day procedures that retrieve viable sperm for IVF/ICSI.

2. Reconstructive Surgeries

• Vasovasostomy – reconnects vas deferens (post-vasectomy)
• Vasoepididymostomy – bypasses a blockage in the epididymis

These surgeries aim to restore natural sperm flow and enable natural conception.

Our experts will recommend the best option after a complete diagnosis. Book your assessment now.
