Azoospermia Treatment in India - Costs and Our Hospital in Delhi |
|
Male infertility i.e. difficulty in getting wife pregnancy due to defect in semen as decreased sperm count & low (Poor) motility or abnormal sperms occurs due to above causes. Treatment of low sperm count & motility are discussed below.
- Low sperm count or Low (Poor) motility
- Nil sperms (Azoospermia)
Azoospermia is the medical condition of a male not having any measurable level of sperm in his semen. It is associated with very low levels of fertility or even sterility, but many forms are amenable to medical treatment. Azoospermia affects about 1% of the male population and may be seen in up to 20% of male infertility situations.
You should know that testis has two separate functions
Production of normal sperms in semen which needed for pregnancy & normal fertility.
The other function of testis is production of male hormones i.e. testosterone & others. So in most patients with nil sperms though semen has absent sperms still production of male hormones remains normal.
How sperms develop ?
When boy becomes of 14 years of age then L.H. & F.S.H. hormone secretion from pituitary increases. The rise in these hormones leads to proliferation of sperm forming cells (Germ Cells) in the testis. These germ cells start multiplying under the effect of above-mentioned pituitary hormones along with assistance of other hormones as testosterones, Growth hormones, Androstenidione, insulin like growth factor-I, Thyroids hormone, paracrine hormone & growth factors. Under the control of above-mentioned hormones germs cells divide & transformed into primary spermatocytes.
Then further maturation of primary spermatocytes to spermatids & then finally into mature spermatozoa (i.e. normal sperms) occurs under the control of above-mentioned hormones. After few weeks of progressive maturation inside the testis these sperms become normally motile & develop the capacity to fertilize the ovum. This total sperm cycle, from first stage to final stage of normal mature sperms is of three months. Thus to produce normal sperms testis should have normal sperm producing germ cells & normal regulating hormones. Any major hindrance in the development of these spermatozoa will lead to absent sperm production resulting into nil sperm..
Diagnosis of Cause of Nil Sperm Count
For correct diagnosis of cause of nil sperm count, we need detail history & physical examinations then certain relevant investigations are required.
History & Physical Examinations : - First step in proper treatment is accurate diagnosis of cause of nil sperm count. So we first try to find out cause. We take detailed history, thorough drug history, and general physical examination, examination of testis, epididymis & testicular veins & sperm carrying duct examinations. These examinations give idea about whether testis is normally developed or not & how is its function. After that depending on likelihood of particular, cause relevant tests are done. All testing facilities are available at our centre. Thus you may consult us at our centre & at same time you may get all tests done. The time taken in getting all the reports ready is 36 hours. So if you are from out of Delhi, you may come here for two days.
Investigation & Diagnosis: - For completes diagnosis of causes of azoospermia (nil sperms) one or more of the following tests may be required as : -
- Complete male hormone profile: This profile includes all the male hormone tests which affect testicular development, growth & other genital organ development as well as genital functions. L.H., F.S.H., Testosterone, prolactins, thyroids test,
- Antisperm antibody
- USG or Doppler study of scrotum & testis
- Semen culture sensitivity
- Semen fructose
- Fine Needle Testicular Biopsy of the testis to look for evidence of spermatogenesis & testicular structure.
- Human Sperm-Zona Pellucida Binding Ratio
- Human Sperm-Zona Pellucida Pentration test
- Genetic Studies
- FNAC Testis
- Egg penetration test
- Molecular genetic studies done in some special cases
- Chromosome analysis i.e. Karyotype (chromosome analysis)
- Assessment of androgen receptor
- Combined Pituitary hormone tests is performed when needed
- Immunobead test
- MRI head, Hemogram, test for systemic diseases.
- Olfactory test is done to find out kallman's syndrome
At our center facility for all the above tests are available.
