Urologist,  's  Response
Hello
Thanks for query .
Azoospermia (absence of sperms ) in semen is mainly due to one of the following two reasons
1) There is no production of sperms by testicles .
2) Blockage in the transmission of sperms from epididymis to urethra .

You have to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination to assess size of the testicles and get biopsy of the testicles done to confirm whether testicles are producing sperms or not.

If ther is total absence of spermatogenesi nothing can be doen to initiate it at this age .
However if there is spermatogenesis the azoospermia is due to blockage n the transmission of sperms from Epididymis to urethra which is commonly in the Vas Difference .
In such situation you have to confirm the blockage by a radiological test called Vaso-Vasogram to detect the site of block which can be corrected by surgery to restore the flow of sperm from testicles to urethra,
