Azoospermia not infrequently results from sexual abuse or excess.The sterility tlius induced is usually of a temporary character; with restand time, healtliy and fruitful spermatozoa are again reproduced. It is amatter of common observation that a newly married pair who indulge ex-cessively in sexual intercourse may remain sterile for a long period, un-less impregnation has taken place at the first embrace or soon thereafter,before the quality of the semen has become deteriorated. If, now, they STERILITY. 1035 are separated for a period until the spermatozoa have time to matureand fully develop, impregnation takes place when they come togetheragain.

Permanent absence of spermatozoa isoccasionally, though very rarely, an idiopathic affection. The congenital anomalies or vices of conformation which cause azoo-spermia are absence of the testes, failure of the testes to descend (crypt-orchidists are usually but not invariably sterile), and congenital deficiencyof the vasa deferentia. The most common cause of the acquired form is gonorrhoeal inflam-mation of the testes and spermatic cord.
