Fertility problems affect approximately one in seven couples in the United Kingdom (UK).

Categorization by obstructive azoospermia (OA) or non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is critical since genetic testing differs for the former with normal testicular function, testicular volume (~20 mL), and follicle-stimulati...
