    This document lists and describes various conditions that can cause azoospermia or no sperm in semen. These include primary testicular failure from genetic issues like Klinefelter syndrome or Y chromosome microdeletions. Secondary testicular failure may be caused by genetic disorders, cancer treatment, or varicocele. Pituitary suppression can result from drug or medication use, illness, or genetic disorders. Other causes include sperm autoimmunity, toxin exposure, undescended testicles at birth, obstruction issues, and vasectomy.
