Post-testicular Causes Journals

Post-testicular causes of male infertility include ejaculatory disorders or obstructions, which harm the transport of spermatozoa from the testis. Such infertility can also be congenital, caused by a bilateral absence of the vas deferens (CBAVD), or acquired because of infection or surgery like vasectomy or an iatrogenic injury. Factors that affect the capability of the sperm to travel from testicle to leave the body in the ejaculate are hernia repair, absent vas deferens, ejaculatory duct abnormalities, vasectomy, genital tract infection, genetic factors, retrograde ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. Azoospermia is a one of the possible causes, which is marked by a total lack of sperm in the semen. Post-testicular azoospermia (obstructive) is caused by difficulties with ejaculation due to an obstruction of some sort in the reproductive tract. This obstructive type exists in about 40 percent of azoospermia cases. This may happen due to a missing connection somewhere like in the epididymis or vas deferens tubes that move and store sperm.
