MicroTESE procedure without hormonal treatment for sufficient time will adversely affect the treatment in these patients. This is the patient group with the highest chance of success of hormonal therapy in male infertility. After hormonal treatment in sufficient time and dose, sperm output can be achieved in a significant part of these patients.
In patients who cannot provide sperm output, the probability of sperm being found in microTESE procedures to be performed after treatment is also very high. While spontaneous pregnancy occurs in some of the patients with outgoing sperm, the number of sperm in a significant part of them is not sufficient for normal pregnancy, so IVF treatment is used to have a child. However, the man will not need to undergo microTESE. Azoosperm is a condition that should not be overlooked in the hormonal examination of patients.
