PURPOSE: Male infertility is commonly seen at urology clinics and 10% to 20% of infertile males are found to be azoospermic. Azoospermia is classically categorized as nonobstructive or obstructive. This classification tailors the evaluation, diagnosis and proper treatment. We performed a retrospective study to provide an updated etiology of azoospermia in patients in the United States in a universal health care model.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the records of men with azoospermia who presented to our institution between 2004 and 2012. Laboratory data were analyzed, included semen analysis, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, semen fructose and genetic studies. Patients underwent scrotal exploration as indicated for testis biopsy and sperm extraction.
RESULTS: We reviewed 139 outpatient records. Nonobstructive azoospermia was diagnosed in 99 men (71%), including 33 (34%) identified with Sertoli-cell only syndrome. Other etiologies included an idiopathic cause in 25 cases (26%), Klinefelter syndrome in 9 (9%), maturation arrest in 9 (9%), Y chromosome microdeletion in 5 (5%), cryptorchidism in 4 (4%), trauma in 4 (4%), exogenous testosterone supplementation in 4 (4%) and other genetic disorders in 6 (6%). Obstructive azoospermia was identified in 40 men (29%), of whom 16 (40%) had congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens. Other etiologies included an idiopathic cause in 11 cases (28%), an iatrogenic condition due to a surgical cause in 5 (13%), ejaculatory duct obstruction in 3 (8%), trauma in 1 (3%), retrograde ejaculation in 1 (3%), vas deferens occlusion in 2 (5%) and unilateral absence of the vas deferens in 1 (3%).
CONCLUSIONS: This study delineates the etiology of azoospermia in men with universal access to care.
