My hormone levels are normal but I have azoospermia. Is it normal?

It can be that the hormonal values are normal, but that there is some other problem affecting sperm production or the exit of the spermatozoa to the exterior.

In the latter case, this alteration is called obstructive azoospermia and, sometimes, sperm can be obtained by means of a testicular biopsy.

However, it should be borne in mind that it is not always possible to find the cause of sterility in both males and females.
