Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can fully understand your anxiety.
No sperms are seen in the semen test.
This is called Azoospermia. It will need certain tests,to idfentify it's cause.
Male hormones like FSH,LH,PRL,testosterone,and other tests will be needed.
An Urologist's examination is needed, first of all.
After this,a scrotal doppler ultrasound scan is needed.
According to the reports, further treatment can be advised.
You can send the reports to me for an expert opinion,as a direct question.
