Can a sperm-free baby be conceived through IVF? A routine checkup is recommended for confirmation.

Azoospermia is an important cause of male infertility, so many families choose IVF. But is it possible to have IVF without sperm? In fact, sperm can be extracted through surgery, and the cause of azoospermia must be identified in time to increase the success rate of IVF.

1. Azoospermia refers to the absence of sperm in multiple semen examinations (usually more than 3 times). It is one of the causes of male infertility and is divided into three categories: 1. Pretesticular: refers to normal testicular function, but due to the endocrine dysfunction of the hypothalamus and (or) pituitary gland, the testicular agenesis or azoospermia occurs; 2. Testicular: refers to the testicles themselves losing their ability to produce sperm due to various reasons; 3. Posttesticular: refers to the obstruction or congenital absence of the sperm transport duct. The more common pseudo-azoospermia caused by vas deferens obstruction, in which case, surgery can be performed to extract sperm, and then the egg can be fertilized through the second-generation IVF technology. The success rate of this method is relatively high.

2. For patients with azoospermia caused by other causes, it is necessary to first determine the cause. It can be confirmed by combining semen analysis, hormone analysis and testicular biopsy before further analysis. For pure male infertility, the success rate of IVF is very high; however, if male infertility and female infertility exist at the same time, the success rate depends largely on female factors; if the male is also accompanied by sperm chromosome abnormalities, the success rate of IVF will be significantly affected.

3. If sperm cannot be obtained from the male body by any method, then conception can only be achieved through sperm from others, that is, artificial insemination.
