Obstruction within the male reproductive tract can prevent the transport of sperm despite normal sperm production. Common sites of obstruction include the epididymis, vas deferens, and ejaculatory ducts.
Congenital absence, infection, inflammation, or surgical injury are frequent causes. Men with obstructive infertility often present with low semen volume or azoospermia but maintain normal hormonal profiles.
Accurate diagnosis allows for surgical correction erotic or sperm retrieval for assisted reproductive technologies, offering favorable fertility outcomes.
