Almost 1% of men around the globe have Azoospermia, a condition in which there are no sperms in a man’s semen. This condition is a major cause of infertility in males. However, with the advancement of technology and medical science, there are treatment options that can help such patients to father a child.

But one of the most common issues that Azoospermia patients face is which doctor they should consult. Should it be an

IVF specialist (a specialist specializes in assisted reproductive technologies)

Endocrinologist (A specialist who specializes in hormonal disorders)

Urologist (A specialist who specializes in urinary tract and male reproductive system disorders)

Andrologist (specializes in male reproductive health and male infertility)

As all of these doctors treat issues related to infertility, it can confuse the patient.

So, we decided to create a quick guide to help patients seek the right doctor for their Azoospermia treatment.

Let’s begin.

Who is the right doctor for Azoospermia treatment?

Before we answer your question, it’s very important to understand that infertility treatment is always performed on couples. So you need a doctor with good knowledge and experience in treating infertility in both male and female patients.

The best way to ensure this is to locate and consult an IVF specialist with extensive experience in Andrology and training in advanced procedures of male fertility. Reason?

The primary reason is that no infertility treatment focuses on a single partner. So even if you are diagnosed with Azoospermia, the doctor will also focus on your female partner for the best results. So an IVF specialist who’s experienced in treating male and female infertility conditions and has experience as an Andrologist can be an excellent choice.

Note:

There is a misconception that an IVF specialist cannot be an Andrologist, and an Andrologist cannot open an IVF clinic. But this is absolutely wrong. Each fertility clinic has multiple specialists like an IVF specialist, Andrologist, endocrinologist, and more to ensure you get the best results for your treatment.

Consult Dr. Jay Mehta, a leading doctor for male infertility treatment in Mumbai, with extensive experience in andrology and advanced male fertility procedures.

What can a patient expect from the treatment of Azoospermia?

It’s very important to note that the results of Azoospermia vary greatly, depending on multiple factors, including the root cause of the condition. With treated correctly, the sperm retrieval ratio for:

1.   Obstructive Azoospermia around 90-95 %
2.   Non-obstructive Azoospermia is around 50-55%
3.   Genetic Azoospermia is below 25%

Moreover, if some Endocrine reason is causing the  Azoospermia, even simple medications might solve the issue, and the patient can father a child.

Closing Punctuation

While selecting a clinic and a doctor, please make sure they specialise in Azoospermia. There are multiple conditions that lead to infertility, and different doctors specialise in treating different conditions.

It’s purely logical if you choose a clinic like Shree IVF  that consults more than 25 Azoospermia patients weekly! So we are well experienced and trained to handle the cases of Azoospermia. We have in-house IVF specialists with extensive experience in Andrology. That’s why we are regarded as one of the premier fertility clinics in  Mumbai and India.
