an open biopsy is no longer the procedure of choice for diagnosis of azzospermia in infertility. You need MESA or TESA at a specialised centre before announcing you as infertile..

Dear patient,
Your testicular biopsy report shows that you don't have functional sperms in your testes. That means that no treatment can make you a father, except adoption. In Western countries, sperm donation is an option but its not allowed in our country and religion. So you should go for adoption. May Allah help you in that, Ameen...

28 year old male, azoospermia, primary infertility. Azoospermia generally occurs in 2 main scenarios: obstructive and non-obstructive. The former is treated more easily and has better outcomes. I would like to order a scrotal ultrasound with doppler to ascertain testicular size, blood flow and any associated abnormalities, like varicocele (which can be corrected surgically), serum hormone profile (LH, FSH, prolactin, testosterone). A high FSH with near normal testes indicate obstructive azoospermia, which is treated by epididymo-vasostomy. This yields a fair amount of sperms within 3 months. In this patient, however, it seems to be non-obstructive azoospermia. This is due to intrinsic testicular pathologies. Testicular biopsy shows sertoli cell only, with no spermatogenesis observed. However, Johnsen score 2/10 is given in the report which mean some spermatozoa are present in the seminiferous tubules. These sperms may be harvested by microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (mTESE). If found viable and motile, the sperms can then be used to innoculate ova taken from his partner in a procedure called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Results of ICSI/ IVF depend on the expertise of the fertility lab, which in Pakistan are about 30-50%, with a mean expenditure about Rs 500,000. So, yes, there is hope for him to have a biological child.
