Q: I am a patient of azoospermia, 38 years of age. I have had a biopsy done wherein it was found that there were sperms but the duct was found to be blocked. However, the doctor failed to preserve the sperms and for that the process has to be repeated. My wife, 34 years old, has 2 small fibroadenomas in her uterus and therefore is under treatment. I want my biopsy conducted again. For how many days can the sperms be preserved and for how many days will I be on bed? What is the success rate and what are the expenses?

A:Since you are an advanced age couple, you need to get IVF done as soon as possible. You need to undergo sperm aspiration from your testes. You wife will undergo simultaneous preparation for IVF. The storage of sperms is variable and not to be relied upon heavily. Once you come, the process can start.
