Absence of Vas Deferens

Often due to a congenital condition called Congenital Bilateral Absence of the Vas Deferens (CBAVD), the absence of the vas deferens results in male infertility. This condition prevents the transport of sperm from the testicles. Diagnosis involves physical examination and genetic testing. Surgical sperm retrieval combined with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF is one of the successful treatment options for absence of the vas deferens.
