Of 1518 consecutive cases of men referred with infertility, 369 (24%) had complete absence of spermatozoa from their semen (azoospermia). This is a high incidence compared with the rates of 4 to 14% reported in other studies. Primary testicular failure, ductal obstruction, endocrine abnormalities, cryptorchidism and infection were common findings in these men; 247 (67%) gave a history of sexually transmitted infection. The duration of involuntary infertility on presentation ranged from 1 to 16 years. Very few couples accepted artificial insemination with donor semen (AID) as a method of achieving pregnancy and none would consider adoption.
在1518例因不育前来就诊的男性连续病例中，369例（24%）精液中完全没有精子（无精子症）。与其他研究报告的4%至14%的发生率相比，这一发生率较高。原发性睾丸功能衰竭、输精管阻塞、内分泌异常、隐睾症和感染是这些男性的常见病症；247例（67%）有性传播感染病史。就诊时非自愿不育的持续时间为1至16年。很少有夫妇接受供精人工授精（AID）作为实现妊娠的方法，也没有人会考虑领养。
