Is azoospermia the same as aspermia?

By Rebeca Reus BSc, MSc (embryologist).

No, they are not. Azoospermia equals having no sperm in the semen, but the man does not have issues with ejaculating. Conversely, aspermia refers to absence of ejaculation ability. In other words, aspermia does not affect sperm.
