Understanding Azoos***mia and FSH Levels
In men with non-obstructive azoos***mia (NOA), high FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) levels are often seen—but they are not the cause of the problem.
High FSH is the body’s natural response to testicular failure, trying to stimulate s***m production when the testicles are not functioning properly. This condition is known as primary testicular failure.
It’s important to understand: reducing FSH will not restore s***m production, because FSH is a consequence, not the cause, of azoos***mia.
