TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
Hope Through Gentle Precision
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a specialized, minimally invasive procedure designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testicle, primarily for men facing azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen). Performed under local anesthesia, a fine needle is used to extract sperm tissue, which is then processed for use in ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). TESA is commonly chosen when sperm retrieval from ejaculation isn’t possible. It’s safe, efficient, and typically performed on the same day as the female partner’s egg retrieval, offering a vital solution in male infertility treatment.

A safe, quick administration of local anesthesia is done to minimize discomfort during the testicular sperm aspiration procedure. -
Sperm Aspiration Procedure :
Using a fine needle, sperm tissue is gently extracted from the testicle with minimal pain and no surgical incision. -

FAQS
Answers to your common fertility questions, clearly and confidently explained
TESA is a procedure to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles in men with azoospermia or no sperm in semen.
TESA is performed under local anesthesia, making it a minimally painful, outpatient procedure with mild discomfort and quick recovery time.
Men diagnosed with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia, or those with sperm production issues, may benefit from TESA for fertility treatment.
TESA typically takes 20–30 minutes and is done as a day-care procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day.
Yes, sperm retrieved through TESA is often used in ICSI as part of an IVF cycle to achieve fertilization.
TESA is generally safe but may cause mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort, which typically resolves within a few days post-procedure.
