This means that the sperm is produced in the testes but on its way out, it gets misdirected into the bladder rather than coming out through the urethra. This can lead to a low volume of semen (hypospermia) or no semen production . Structural or functional damage to the bladder neck muscle causes the backflow of semen during the ejaculation.
Hypoprolactinemia is associated with ovarian dysfunction in women, [3] [4] and, in men, metabolic syndrome, [5] anxiety symptoms, [5] arteriogenic erectile dysfunction, [6] premature ejaculation, [5] oligozoospermia (low concentration of sperm in semen), asthenospermia (reduced sperm motility), hypofunction of seminal vesicles, and hypoandrogenism.

Aspermia is the complete lack of semen with ejaculation (not to be confused with azoospermia, the lack of sperm cells in the semen). It is associated with infertility.. One of the causes of aspermia is retrograde ejaculation, because of that the sperm is kept into the bladder and the final ejaculate is 0 mL. [1]
The use of radiotherapy can cause a temporary bout of azoospermia, this however, is dependant solely on the nature of the dose that are delivered to the testes. Those who experience less than 100 rads will recover in 9–18 months, doses of 200-300 rads will recover in 30 months and doses of 400-600 rads will recover in less than or equal to five years.
Subregions within the AZF region are AZFa (sometimes AZF1), AZFb and AZFc (together referred to as AZF2). AZF microdeletions are one of the major causes of male infertility for azoospermia (complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate [3] [4]) and severe oligozoospermia (less than 5 million spermatozoa in the ejaculate [4]) males.
Azoospermia is the medical condition of a man whose semen contains no sperm. [1] It is associated with male infertility, but many forms are amenable to medical treatment.In humans, azoospermia affects about 1% of the male population [2] and may be seen in up to 20% of male infertility situations in Canada.

On the other hand, most studies have shown that isoflavone supplements have little to no effect on sperm concentration, count, or mobility, and cause no changes in testicular or ejaculate volume. [18] [19] A review in 2010 concluded that there is little evidence for a relationship with semen parameters and increased BMI. [20]
