Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a procedure used to retrieve sperm and treat male infertility. It provides couples with assisted reproductive techniques such as IVF-ICSI and IUI. The procedure involves the needle aspiration of the testes to find sperm directly, and is particularly useful for men with obstructive Azoospermia or the absence of sperm in the ejaculate.
The retrieved sperm can be preserved for later use or used in a current IVF-ICSI cycle. TESA is successful for both obstructive and non-obstructive Azoospermia, but the chances of success are higher for obstructive cases.
For couples experiencing difficulties with natural conception due to male infertility, TESA can help fulfill their dream of parenthood. Here are some frequently asked questions about TESA treatment:
Q. Is TESA painful? A. With needle aspiration procedures, there is generally some minor pain and swelling in the area, which fades away in a short span of time.
Q. How successful is TESA? A. Sperm extraction through TESA has a high success rate of over 80%. Some research studies have even reported a 100% success rate for sperm extraction.
Q. Can Azoospermia cure itself? A. Azoospermia is generally of two types - Obstructive and Non-Obstructive Azoospermia - neither of which can cure on their own. However, simple surgical procedures can be performed to either cure the condition or assist in conception through artificial methods.
