Extract

A 25-year old male presented with primary infertility. He and his partner had been trying to conceive for over 12 months despite normal gynecological investigations. There was no history of chronic respiratory disease, infections, sexual dysfunction, genetic abnormalities, trauma or illicit substance use. Secondary sexual characteristics were normal. Physical examination including digital rectal examination was unremarkable. Scrotal ultrasound demonstrated a grade 0 varicocele. Karyotype and hormonal profile were normal. Semen analysis was consistent with obstructive azoospermia, with absent sperm, low pH and reduced volume.
