Approximately 1% of all infertile men are born with the congenital absence of the vas deferens, the “equivalent” of a vasectomy. Unfortunately, there are no artificial tubes strong enough to replace the vas deferens. However, we are now able to help such men conceive using an operating microscope to retrieve sperm from the tiny ducts of the epididymis, freeze them and use them later for in- vitro fertilization (IVF) with the injection of the single sperm directly into an egg.

The most exciting new development in the field of male infertility is the ability to treat men with severe sperm production problems called non-obstructive azoospermia. Even though these men may have no sperm in their semen, we can now find sperm between the cells of the testicles in almost half of these cases.

Genetic testing of these men with non-obstructive azoospermia has revealed that 10% to 15% are missing a tiny piece of their Y chromosome. This condition is called micro Y deletion. Human beings have 46 chromosomes, males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome and females have two X chromosomes. The Y chromosome carries the genes that are responsible for producing sperm. Men who have low to no sperm count might be missing a small piece of that Y chromosome. Unfortunately helping men with micro Y deletion have children almost guarantees their male children will have the same infertility problem. However, Chennai fertility center will be healthy in every other way.
