How TESA and TESE Are Changing the Game for Male Infertility Treatment

What are TESA and TESE?

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) and TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) are both medical procedures used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles. They are typically employed in cases where there is no sperm in the ejaculate.

TESA is a simpler, less invasive way to get sperm directly from the testicles. Here’s how it works:

  • Numbing the area: You’ll get local anesthesia to numb the area.
  • Needle Aspiration: A thin needle is used to suck out fluid and tissue from the testicle.
  • Finding Sperm: The fluid is checked for sperm, which can be used for IVF.

TESE is a bit more involved and is used when TESA doesn’t work or when more sperm is needed. Here’s what happens:

  • Anesthesia: You might get local or general anesthesia.
  • Making an Incision: A small cut is made in the scrotum to reach the testicle, and a small piece of tissue is taken under the guidance of microscope.
  • Finding Sperm: The tissue is processed to find sperm for IVF.

How TESA and TESE Benefit Men with Infertility:

Infertility can be a challenging and emotional journey. TESA and TESE are advanced medical procedures designed to help infertile men. Here are the benefits from these procedures:

  • Minimally Invasive: TESA has a quicker recovery time and creates minimal discomfort, making it a preferred first step for many.
  • Higher Success Rates: TESE has a better chance of finding viable sperm.
  • Increased IVF Success: Both procedures help couples to concerned with their garments.
  • Emotional Relief: These procedures provide emotional relief to men and couples, offering a path to biological parenthood.

In conclusion, TESA and TESE are crucial tools in the treatment of male infertility, offering targeted solutions for sperm retrieval.
