Causes and Symptoms of Nil Shukranu (Azoospermia) in Men
Nil Shukranu, or azoospermia, is a medical condition where a man’s semen contains no sperm, leading to infertility. This condition affects approximately 1% of men globally and is a significant factor in male infertility cases. Understanding the underlying causes and symptoms is crucial for early diagnosis and effective treatment.
Causes of Nil Shukranu (Azoospermia)
Azoospermia broadly falls into two categories: obstructive and non-obstructive.
- Obstructive Azoospermia: Here, sperm production in the testes is normal, but a blockage prevents sperm from mixing with semen. This can be due to congenital absence of the vas deferens (common in cystic fibrosis), infections causing scarring, ejaculatory duct obstruction, or injuries from surgeries like hernia repair.
- Non-Obstructive Azoospermia: This involves impaired or absent sperm production often caused by hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome, testicular injury or failure, infections like mumps orchitis, or exposure to toxins or radiation. Disorders in the hypothalamus or pituitary gland can also disrupt the hormone production necessary for sperm creation.
Common factors include endocrine abnormalities, genetic disorders, infections, varicocele, and lifestyle-related damage to testicular function.
Symptoms of Nil Shukranu (Azoospermia)
Often, men with azoospermia might not exhibit noticeable symptoms apart from infertility. Many realize the problem only when attempts to conceive naturally fail. Potential symptoms related to underlying causes may include:
- Low sex drive or reduced libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Swelling, lumps, or discomfort around the testicles
- Smaller testicles or changes in testicular consistency
- Decreased facial or body hair due to hormonal imbalances
Physical examination may reveal absence or abnormalities of the vas deferens, and further tests including hormone levels and genetic screening clarify the diagnosis.
