ASPERMIA Meaning and Definition

  1. Aspermia is a medical condition characterized by the complete absence or lack of semen during ejaculation. It is a rare condition that affects the ability of a male to produce or release semen, resulting in infertility. Typically, during ejaculation, semen is released from the penis, which contains sperm and various fluids from the reproductive organs. However, in cases of aspermia, no fluid or only a very small quantity of fluid is expelled during orgasm.

    Aspermia can be either congenital (present from birth) or acquired (developed later in life). Congenital aspermia is often caused by a structural or functional abnormality in the reproductive system, such as the absence of the seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, or vas deferens. Acquired aspermia, on the other hand, can be caused by various factors including hormonal imbalances, infections, surgical interventions, or other underlying conditions affecting the reproductive organs.

    Due to the absence of semen, individuals with aspermia are typically unable to father a child naturally. However, assisted reproductive technologies like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) may offer alternative means of achieving pregnancy in some cases of aspermia.

    It is important for individuals experiencing aspermia to consult with a healthcare professional or specialist in urology or reproductive medicine to determine the underlying cause and explore potential treatment options.
