Azoospermia

This code represents the complete absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate, a significant cause of male infertility. It indicates a severe impairment in sperm production or transport, preventing the male from conceiving naturally.

Use this code when documentation explicitly states a diagnosis of azoospermia following semen analysis. This diagnosis is typically made after at least two separate semen analyses confirm the absence of sperm.

• Ensure the medical record clearly documents the results of semen analysis confirming azoospermia.
• Do not confuse with oligospermia (low sperm count), which is coded differently.
• Consider additional codes for underlying causes of azoospermia, such as genetic conditions, testicular disorders, or obstructive issues, if documented.
