Obstructive Azoospermia

Obstructive Azoospermia

About Obstructive Azoospermia

OA can be a result of congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD) associated with CFTR gene mutations (also affected in cystic fibrosis). It is characterized by the absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate. It can be classified as obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia. OA is the result of physical blockage and it can be present in any zone between the testis and the ejaculatory ducts. However, genetic testing and microsurgery combined with assisted reproductive technology (ART) represents a solution.

Recommendations

Understanding your genetic makeup can provide valuable insight into your health and potential risks for your offspring. Results in this category describe whether you’re a carrier of rare diseases. These are very unlikely to affect you but being a carrier of a rare disease can pose a risk for your children, when both you and your partner are carriers. This knowledge can help you make informed decisions about your future, and potentially reduce the risk of passing on genetic conditions to the next generation
