Brief Answer:
Obstructive azoospermia likely

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Technical failure is most likely in this case. You can repeat the test with another urologist.

Since you have normal hormones and other tests, it is likely to be obstructive azoospermia.

TESA might cost between10 to 15 thousand.

Only other alternative option would be to use donor sperms for treatment if no sperms are found in you.

Let me know if you need any more help.

Brief Answer:
Difficult to identify obstruction

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Such obstruction cannot be identified by MRI or any other test.

Please get examined by another urologist to assess testicular size and another TESA if need be.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
