Prepare a short, dated history
Note when azoospermia was first reported, previous pregnancies, operations and fertility treatment. Include relevant illnesses and all medicines, supplements or testosterone products you use, without changing them yourself. Bring available semen analyses, hormone results and genetic reports with dates and the laboratories’ reference ranges. Avoid arranging a large new set of tests solely for the appointment unless the team specifically recommends it.
Keep different reports together
After a previous sperm retrieval, prepare the operation note, pathology findings, embryology report and any freezing or storage record. These documents describe different stages and cannot always replace one another. Include the female partner’s relevant assessment and IVF history when available. If a report is missing, write down where it was produced and ask how to request a copy rather than relying on memory alone.
Choose the questions that matter most
Ask what supports the diagnosis, whether obstruction or impaired production has been distinguished, and which specialist should address each issue. Discuss what information could change the recommendation, possible risks and alternatives, and whether both partners need appointments. Prof. Dr. Mehmet Çolakoğlu can discuss the couple’s IVF planning; male surgical assessment belongs to urology or andrology, with laboratory evaluation undertaken by embryology.
Use the form to arrange contact
The preliminary consultation form asks for contact information and a brief request. Do not upload medical reports, identity documents or detailed health histories there. The team can explain the suitable method for providing relevant records. Before travelling, confirm the appointment location and date, who should attend, any preparation instructions and the consultation fee. An appointment request is not confirmation that treatment or an operation has been booked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need every report before requesting an appointment?
No. Explain that some records are unavailable. The team can advise which information is important and how to arrange the next step.
Should I stop medication before the consultation?
Do not stop or alter prescribed treatment yourself. Provide an accurate list and ask the responsible clinician for any individual instructions.
