Goals of semen analysis are to reduce
analytical error and enhance precision
Examination of pelleted
semen
Differentiation between ‘true’
azoospermia and
cryptozoospermia
Minimum 2 analyses
Transient azoospermia due
to medical conditions and
biological variability
Supernatant is
discharged
Pellet is
meticulously
examined

to spermatogenic failure

Isolated diagnostic biopsy rarely indicated
provide no definitive proof of whether sperm will be
found; may jeopardize future retrieval attempts

16. Key Messages – Day 1
Azoospermia Differential Diagnosis
§ Nonobstructive Azoospermia (Spermatogenic
Failure) is the worst prognostic condition in
male infertility
§ Should be differentiated from obstructive
azoospermia and NOA due to hypo-hypo
§ Irreversible condition; often termed as “sterile”
§ History may indicate primary testis pathology
§ Usual clinical presentation: Azoospermia +
small testis + high FSH + low T
