A member asked:

My husband was diagnosed of azoospermia. his blood test result reveals thus: fsh 23.4 , lh 11.4 and prolactin 12.5 (all in miu/ml). can he be treated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testes problem: Hi. Those data demonstrate primary hypogonadism, that is the defect lies in the testicles, not the pituitary. Is his testosterone low? That LH would predict so. That FSH should be driving spermatogenesis quite robustly, but it can't because of a testicular defect (a number are possible: genetic, toxic, traumatic, etc). He needs to see a fertility doc, and probably have a testicular biopsy.
