Infertility can stem from either partner or both. Since both you and your husband face reproductive health challenges, a comprehensive examination and treatment plan are essential.

At the Center for Reproductive Assistance, Tam Anh General Hospital District 8 (IVF Tam Anh - District 8), an andrology specialist will examine your husband to diagnose the cause of his azoospermia. If the condition results from an obstructed vas deferens, treatment options include surgical reconstruction or sperm aspiration from the epididymis or testicles for in vitro fertilization (IVF). For severe cases of azoospermia due to genetic abnormalities or testicular atrophy complications following mumps, micro-TESE microsurgery may be necessary to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles.

Concurrently, a female infertility specialist will examine you, develop an ovarian stimulation protocol, and perform egg retrieval.

The couple can undergo parallel treatment: your egg retrieval can be scheduled for the same day your husband undergoes microsurgery to retrieve sperm. This ensures the collection of fresh sperm and eggs, enhancing the success rate of in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. Embryos are cultured in an optimal environment, fostering their development to the day three or day five stage. Artificial intelligence (AI) software integrated into the embryo culture system, alongside embryologists, assesses embryo quality. Subsequently, the doctor will prepare your uterine lining, select a high-quality embryo, and transfer it into the uterus.

Seeking an early consultation is advisable for your couple to maximize treatment effectiveness and achieve conception sooner.
