Would Leukemia Cause Absence Of Sperm?
this is a bit embarassing......i was diagnosed at 17 with acoute lymphoblastic leukemia and before i began chemotherapy i had sperm tests where no sperm was found,i then had a testicular biopsy and again no sperm was found.could the leukemia have caused this and will i ever have sperm?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.. Absence of sperm in your semen analysis before starting any chemotherapy and also nil sperm in testicular biopsy shows that for some reason sperms have not developed... This is unlikely to be due to leukemia.. If it is primary absence of sperm then there is no treatment available... Hope this answered your query.
