Sperm Retrieval Services
TESA – Testicular Sperm Aspiration
TESA is a minimally invasive sperm retrieval method where a fine needle extracts sperm directly from the testicle. Performed under local anesthesia, it’s ideal for men with azoospermia or duct blockages causing infertility.
PESA – Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration
PESA is a simple clinic-based sperm retrieval technique performed under local anesthesia. It’s highly effective for men with obstructive azoospermia caused by vasectomy, infection, or blocked reproductive ducts, ensuring minimal discomfort and fast recovery.
TESE – Testicular Sperm Extraction
TESE involves making a small incision in the testicle to collect sperm from seminiferous tubules. This method is suitable for men with non-obstructive azoospermia and is performed safely under sedation or anesthesia in an operating room.
MESA – Microepididymal Sperm Aspiration
MESA uses a high-powered surgical microscope to retrieve sperm from the epididymis under general anesthesia. It’s ideal for men with vasal or epididymal obstruction and offers superior sperm quality for IVF or ICSI procedures.
Microdissection TESE (Micro-TESE)
Microdissection TESE is an advanced, microscope-guided sperm retrieval technique that helps men with low or zero sperm production. It offers higher sperm recovery rates and minimal tissue damage, making it the preferred treatment for severe azoospermia.
Non-Surgical: Penile Vibratory Stimulation (PVS)
PVS is a gentle, non-invasive technique that uses a medical-grade vibrator placed at the tip of the penis to stimulate ejaculation. It helps men with spinal injuries or anejaculation naturally release semen for fertility purposes.
Non-Surgical: Electro-Ejaculation (EEJ)
EEJ uses mild electrical stimulation through a special probe to trigger ejaculation when natural methods aren’t possible. Performed under medical supervision, it’s safe and effective for men with retrograde ejaculation or nerve-related fertility issues.
Frequently Asked Questions
TESA is a minimally invasive procedure to collect sperm directly from the testicle using a fine needle. It’s ideal for men with low or absent sperm in semen, blockages, or post-surgical infertility. The sperm retrieved is used for IVF or ICSI, ensuring safe, effective treatment for male infertility without major surgery or long recovery time.
Yes, men with anejaculation or retrograde ejaculation can use non-invasive methods like Penile Vibratory Stimulation (PVS) or Electro-Ejaculation (EEJ). These techniques stimulate sperm release without surgery, providing high-quality sperm for IVF or ICSI while avoiding invasive procedures.
Sperm can be retrieved using TESA, TESE, PESA, MESA, or Microdissection TESE. Non-surgical methods include Penile Vibratory Stimulation (PVS) and Electro-Ejaculation (EEJ). The choice depends on sperm production, duct blockages, and overall health, ensuring maximum success for IVF or ICSI procedures.
TESA is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia, so pain is negligible. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or swelling post-procedure, which usually resolves quickly. The procedure typically lasts 20–30 minutes, allowing men to return to normal activities the same day.
Most sperm retrieval procedures, including TESA and PESA, take about 30 minutes. More advanced procedures like Micro-TESE or MESA may take longer depending on complexity. Recovery is generally fast, with most patients resuming daily activities within a day or two.
