What is Azoospermia?
- Azoospermia means there is no sperm in the semen. It may be one of the major causes of male infertility.
- Azoospermia may be present from birth or develop in later life.
- Obstruction in the vas deferens (sperm duct) or absence of sperm production in the testicles may lead to nil sperm count.
- Having no sperm makes it more difficult to conceive naturally.
- In Ayurveda, it corresponds to shukra kshaya.
Ayurvedic ways to treat azoospermia
- In this case report, the patient presented with the complaint of being unable to conceive. According to symptomatic presentation and by assessing semen analysis and ultrasound of the scrotum, the cases were diagnosed to be azoospermia.
