Male Infertility Treatment in Delhi

What is Azoospermia?

Male infertility is said to be the cause of 50% of infertility cases. Azoospermia is one of the most significant diagnoses known (zero sperm in the semen). The development of technology has made this treatable and given men the opportunity to become biological fathers.

Azoospermia is the medical term for an ejaculate that contains no sperm. The most likely causes include hormonal imbalances, obstructions in the reproductive tract, problems with testicular structure and function, or complications with ejaculation.

Although you may be concerned about its treatment, we at BabySoon provide the best azoospermia treatment in Delhi. We retain a team of specialists who know the exact solution to your problem. Azoospermia is one of the most common problems that directly affects male productivity.

At BabySoon, we ensure that all tests are performed and that our clients are properly counseled. Despite this, we offer the best treatment at affordable prices so that every couple can enjoy every moment of their lives.

Causes of Azoospermia

  • A genetic condition such as Klinefelter’s syndrome
  • Chemotherapy and excessive use of drugs
  • Vasectomy, is a surgical contraception process that prevents the injection of sperm 
  • Anatomical abnormalities

Types Of Azoospermia

We at BabySoon understand the type of azoospermia to curate the right treatment strategy. Azoospermia is broadly split into two primary categories, which are obstructive and non-obstructive. There is a further finer breakdown into three types. This can be seen when looking more closely at hormonal vs. structural causes.

Obstructive Azoospermia (Post‑Testicular)

The testicles produce sperm in obstructive azoospermia, but a physical blockage prevents it from reaching the ejaculation phase. 40% of azoospermia cases are usually the obstructive kind. They include:

  • Blockages in the vas deferens, epididymis, or ejaculatory ducts
  • Trauma or surgery in the pelvic area
  • Inflammation or infection (e.g., epididymitis)
  • Vasectomy, congenital absence of vas deferens (often associated with cystic fibrosis), or retrograde ejaculation

Non‑Obstructive Azoospermia

In non-obstructive azoospermia, there is poor or absent sperm production. This is due to problems within the testicles or at the hormonal level. This is further understood in 2 distinct forms:

  • Testicular azoospermia: In this case, the testicles cannot produce adequate sperm on their own. The causes behind this are genetic syndromes, testicular trauma, varicocele, or exposure to toxins.
  • Pre‑testicular azoospermia: Hormonal or pituitary-hypothalamic dysfunction can cause low sperm stimulation. This is sometimes seen after chemotherapy. In other cases, it may happen in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and due to endocrine disruptions.

A classification into obstructive vs. non-obstructive azoospermia is usually made in clinical settings so a systematic treatment cycle can be adopted.

Risk Factors Associated With Azoospermia

Azoospermia is the result of a combination of genetic and hormonal, as well as environmental and iatrogenic factors:

Genetic and chromosomal abnormalities

Klinefelter syndrome (XXY karyotype) and Y-chromosome microdeletions, as well as Kallman syndrome, are usually found in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia.

Hormonal imbalances

Hormonal imbalances like hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, along with elevated prolactin and thyroid disorders, usually cause azoospermia.

Anatomical abnormalities or blockages

Scarring and inflammation that may cause anatomical abnormalities or blockages are usually seen in cases of poorly executed vasectomy, congenital absence of the vas deferens, and past infections.

Environmental and lifestyle factors

Environmental and lifestyle factors also pose a great risk. Those with exposure to radiation, chemotherapy, or heavy metals are at risk of getting azoospermia. Further exposure to heat, anabolic steroids, and obesity can pose a threat, too.

Medical treatments and infections

You are also at risk of azoospermia if you have suffered from infectious orchitis, childhood mumps, and varicocele. Some chronic illnesses and prolonged febrile illnesses can also be risk factors.

Unknown or idiopathic causes

A great number of non-obstructive cases remain idiopathic or without any known reason even after proper evaluation.

When To Visit BabySoon for Azoospermia?

Consider paying a visit or setting up a consultation with BabySoon for azoospermia under the following circumstances:

  • You and your partner have been unable to conceive after 12 months of unprotected intercourse, or after 6 months, if you're over 35.
  • A semen analysis confirms zero sperm on two separate occasions.
  • You notice symptoms suggesting hormonal or structural issues, such as little or no semen volume, painful ejaculation, and decreased libido.
  • You have a history of vasectomy, exposure to chemotherapy/radiation, genetic disorders (Klinefelter, CFTR variants), or experienced infections like mumps orchitis.
  • Even without symptoms, a fertility evaluation may be wise if you are doing family planning or seeking peace of mind.

We at BabySoon will conduct a comprehensive semen testing for you before we move forward. We’ll also perform genetic and hormonal assessments to ensure a correct diagnosis and develop an effective azoospermia treatment plan.

Azoospermia Treatments Available At BabySoon

Our azoospermia treatment is deeply personalized, depending on the type of azoospermia you have as well as its underlying cause.

Obstructive Azoospermia

For obstructive azoospermia, we offer microsurgical repair and address retrograde ejaculation:

  • Microsurgical repair: We ensure sperm flow recovery through procedures like vasovasotomy and epididymovasostomy, along with a repair of ejaculatory duct blockages. This enables natural conception in many cases.
  • Addressing retrograde ejaculation: Our infertility treatment specialists at BabySoon also prescribe medicines like pseudoephedrine to correct obstructive azoospermia. However, in some cases, sperm are retrieved from post-ejaculate urine for use in IUI/IVF.

Non‑Obstructive Azoospermia

For non-obstructive azoospermia, we prioritize hormonal therapy and varicocele repair, as well as medication switches.

  • Hormonal therapy: Sperm production may improve in some cases with clomiphene citrate and FSH therapy.
  • Varicocele repair: Surgical correction can restore testicular function in selected men.
  • Medication switches: Discontinuing implicated medications like opioids and anabolic steroids can sometimes revive sperm production.

Sperm Retrieval + Assisted Reproduction

We also use sperm retrieval and assisted reproduction to help azoosperm ia patients:

  • TESE/Micro‑TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction): Direct sperm retrieval from testicular tissues is beneficial for both obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia cases.
  • Retrieved sperm: It can be used with IVF-ICSI or other assisted reproduction techniques, enabling biological parenthood even in challenging cases.

Lifestyle Interventions and Supportive Care

This is a supplementary level of care in azoospermia treatment that includes the following:

  • Addressing toxin exposure, stress, weight, and heat, providing vitamin supplementation and detoxification support.
  • Treating infections, varicocele, or other correctable underlying conditions.

Alternative Family‑Building Options

When sperm retrieval fails, BabySoon can guide you through donor sperm, adoption, or fostering, aligning with your values and goals.

Importance Of Psychological And Emotional Support For Azoospermia Patients

Azoospermia is not just a physical change. It is also a heavy emotional weight for many males. Addressing the mental health of those with azoospermia is important to ensure successful outcomes:

Emotional Impact

Men with azoospermia report frequent cases of depression and anxiety. They also feel ridden with anger, along with shame and guilt. They feel at a loss and usually have reduced self-esteem due to their concern. These feelings are usually linked to perceived failures in masculinity.

Mental issues in azoospermia patients may present as psychogenic impotence and social withdrawal. They may even face strain in their personal relationships.

Relationship and Social Effects

Infertility can create communication breakdowns and intimacy disruption amongst couples. It can even cause emotional distancing. The social stigma around male infertility usually leads to secrecy and isolation.

Role of Psychological Care

Psychological care can help those with azoospermia in the following ways:

  • Counselling and psychoeducation help normalize experiences, teach coping strategies, and provide practical tools for stress and anxiety treatment.
  • Couple therapy fosters reconnection, emotional resilience, and shared coping in the face of challenges.
  • Support groups, both in-person and online, help patients know they are not alone and reduce feelings of shame.

Benefits for Treatment Success

These are the most common benefits of psychological intervention in the context of treatment success:

  • Emotional health supports adherence to treatment, resilience during complex procedures, and improved communication, all of which are linked to higher success rates of conception.
  • Stress reduction can even positively affect sperm quality by moderating testosterone and cortisol levels.

FAQs

What is IUI?

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) is a basic fertility technique in which processed (concentrated and washed) sperms are implanted into a woman’s uterus during ovulation to boost her chances of becoming pregnant.

Is IUI different from IVF treatment?

Fertilization (meeting of egg and sperm) occurs in the body during IUI (fallopian tubes). IVF, on the other hand, is carried out in a laboratory.

What is the success rate of IUI?

The success rate of IUI is approximately 20%.

What is the difference between stimulated IVF and Natural IVF?

Stimulated IVF- A woman takes medicines/injections for 9 to 12 days to stimulate both of her ovaries to generate and mature multiple egg follicles. During the stimulation phase, a physician will do ultrasounds to track the follicles growth until they reach a specified size (18-22mm). Natural IVF- In this cycle, instead of stimulating your ovaries to produce multiple eggs, the Natural Cycle IVF Process is meant to select that one egg that your body produces naturally.

What is the advantage of natural IVF cycle?

Multiple pregnancy risk is reduced. Reduces the high costs associated with stimulation medicines. Reduces the risk of drug-related adverse effects.

What is Controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH)?

Controlled ovarian hyper stimulation is a procedure in which the patient’s ovaries are stimulated for 10-12 days with hormone injections (gonadotrophins) in order to obtain the highest number of mature oocytes (eggs).The response to these injections is tracked by ultrasound, and after the cohort of follicles reaches 18-22mm (minimum 4-5), a trigger injection is administered, followed by ovum pickup (egg collection) 34-36 hours later.

What are the risks associated with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation?

Ovaries of some females might respond excessively to the fertility drugs. OHSS(Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome) occurs in a minority of females who overrespond, symptoms of which include, vomiting, nausea, severe discomfort, abdominal distension and dehydration. Note: The patient should immediately notify the clinician in case of such symptoms

When is a couple considered infertile?

A couple is considered to be infertile when they fail to conceive after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse.

Are IVF babies born with deformities?

No, babies born out of IVF do not have any genetic abnormalities.
