Zero sperm count seems like falling out of a dream. For many men, it is an emotional time that is accompanied by confusion and fear of the unknown. But the truth is - it is not the end. It is only the beginning of the understanding, treatment, and renewed hope.

At Femme Nest, our vision is to create parenthood for all. With a team of experienced male infertility specialists in Delhi, state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalised treatments, we help men overcome the condition of zero sperm count (azoospermia) and proceed towards fatherhood with a smile on their face.

What is Zero Sperm Count(Azoospermia)?

Azoospermia is a condition of total absence of sperm in semen. This condition affects one percent of all men and between 10 and 15 percent of men with infertility. Despite its severity, many cases are treatable, especially in the case of early diagnosis and expert treatment.

Azoospermia can be of two types:

1. Obstructive Azoospermia: Sperm are being made in the testes, but are prevented from entering the reproductive tract due to some obstruction along the reproductive tract.
2. Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: The testes do not produce sperm because of hormonal imbalance, genetic disorders, or testicular failure.

Determining what type of man a man has is the first step in developing a successful treatment plan.

Diagnosis: Getting to the "Why" of Zero Sperm Count.

At Femme Nest, compassion and accuracy come first in diagnosis. Our experts conduct several tests to identify the cause and select the most effective treatment option.

Diagnostic tests include the following.

1. Semen Analysis: Confirms infertility of spermatozoa and assesses the quality of semen.
2. Hormone Testing: Testing testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin levels.
3. Ultrasound: To identify structural blockage or varicoceles.
4. Genetic Testing: Determines chromosomal or Y-chromosome defects.
5. Testicular Biopsy (TESA/TESE): Figures out whether the sperm production is occurring within the testes.

These findings can be used to determine whether or not it is possible to perform a sperm retrieval or hormonal correction.

Advanced Treatments for Zero Sperm Count at Femme Nest

The path from zero sperm to a positive pregnancy is often filled with a mix of science, strategy, and support. At Femmenest, we use evidence-based, minimally invasive, and success-driven treatment protocols.

1. Surgical Sperm Retrieval (TESA/TESE/PESA/ Micro-TESE)

Even if there are no sperm in the semen, they may still be in the testes. For micro-surgical treatment, our specialists can retrieve viable spermatozoa directly for IVF or ICSI treatment.

• Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA): Direct extraction of the sperm is done from the testes using a needle.
• TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction): A small sample of tissue is taken to find the sperm.
• Micro-TESE: A higher success rate alternative to TESE.
• Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA): In case of obstructive azoospermia, the sperm are aspirated from the epididymis.

These retrieved sperm can be used for ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), in which a single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg.

2. Hormonal Therapy

If hormonal imbalance is the reason behind azoospermia, then medications such as hCG or FSH injections are used to stimulate natural sperm production.

3. Varicocele Repair Surgery

Laparoscopic varicocele correction leads to improvement in sperm quality and sperm count in many men with mild to moderate infertility.

4. Nutrition and Lifestyle Therapy

Supplements (zinc, folate, vitamin E, CoQ10), as well as reducing stress, exercising, and not smoking cigarettes, can have a remarkable effect on boosting sperm quality.

5. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Femmenest provides sophisticated techniques of ART such as IVF, ICSI, and sperm cryopreservation to provide maximum chances of conception even in the complex cases of azoospermia.

Can Men with Zero Sperm Count Become Fathers?

Absolutely! Even men whose sperm cells are not found in their semen can have biological children, thanks to modern reproductive medicine. While using micro-TESE + ICSI, even a single healthy sperm may result in successful fertilization.

At Femmenest, we have many success stories of couples that once thought their dream of parenthood was impossible - until science and support provided a second chance.
