Azoospermia is the absence of sperm in the semen. To determine the cause, the nurse should inquire about infections that could affect the reproductive system such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Mumps can also affect the reproductive system and cause orchitis, which can lead to azoospermia. Tuberculosis can cause granulomas in the testes, which can also lead to azoospermia. Erectile dysfunction (B) and atherosclerosis (E) may impact fertility indirectly, but they are not direct causes of azoospermia.
