It may mean the presence of round cells in semen analysis?

Denis: Hello. A child ill with mumps. Diagnosis: infertility. In the semen of a single progressive mobile and immobile sperm. After six months of using the drug Spiractin conventional semen analysis shows the presence of round cells (was 0, then 0,4 million/ml, now 0.8 million/ml). What this could mean and how to test it? Sincerely, Denis.

The answer of the doctor-doctor: Hello, Denis! Need to see a full description of semen. Absence of sperm may be associated with obstructive azoospermia (obstruction of the VAS deferens) or non-obstructive (hormonal and hereditary diseases). Recommend further study of the total testosterone, LH, FSH, inhibin, SHBG, prolactin, genetics consultation and to consult andrologist. You may need a testicular biopsy and IVF. I wish you health.
