About this condition
This is a type of male infertility where no sperm are present in the ejaculate due to blockage in the tubes (efferent ducts) that carry sperm from the testicles. The blockage may be congenital, due to infection, surgery, or trauma. While sperm production may be normal, they cannot reach the semen, requiring surgical correction or assisted reproductive techniques like sperm retrieval for conception.
