Male Partners of Infertile Couples with Congenital Unilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens are mainly Non ‐Azoospermic

ConclusionsOur results indicate that men with CUAVD mainly display oligozoospermia or normozoospermia and that they were previously fertile. They clearly confirm, first, thatCFTR testing is recommended in CUAVD men and it should be mandatory for those with normal kidneys; and, second, that TRUS is needed for the diagnosis of CUAVD. As CUAVD may be present whatever the sperm count, biological warnings are represented by semen volume and seminal epididymal markers, and clinical warnings by surgical histories of undescended testes or inguinal hernia.
