The Role of TESA in Male Infertility Treatment

In cases of male infertility, one specialized procedure known as TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) can offer promising results. At Dr. Rathi’s Bright Hope IVF, we understand the emotional and physical toll infertility can take on couples, and we are committed to providing advanced and effective solutions like TESA to support your family-building goals.

What is TESA?

TESA is a minimally invasive procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles in men who have low or no sperm in their semen. This technique can be especially useful for men with obstructive azoospermia (where sperm is produced but blocked from entering the ejaculate) or non-obstructive azoospermia (where sperm production itself is minimal or absent). TESA allows us to collect viable sperm that can be used for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) combined with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

Who Might Benefit from TESA?

TESA is often recommended for men who:

• Have had a vasectomy or any obstruction preventing sperm from entering the ejaculate.
• Are experiencing non-obstructive azoospermia.
• Have conditions that make sperm retrieval through traditional methods challenging.
• Need a less invasive option to obtain sperm for fertilization procedures.

How Does TESA Work?

The TESA procedure is performed under local anesthesia and involves inserting a thin needle into the testicle to aspirate a small tissue sample. This sample contains sperm, which is then carefully processed and examined by an embryologist to select the healthiest sperm for use in IVF or ICSI. Since TESA is minimally invasive, recovery time is typically short, and discomfort is minimal.
