Azoospermia (No sperm in semen): PESA/TESA Procedure

As you visit one of the best IVF centre in Punjab and get the news that you have azoospermia, which means no sperm are present when you ejaculate. The following condition can happen due to several reasons.

When you consult the fertility doctor, she will better guide you on which option is suitable for your condition. Making sure the sperm moves through the body and meets the egg is essential. The problem is called obstructive azoospermia. In case the sperm presence gets affected, then the doctor suggests the option of:

PESA: Surgical method to extract sperm from the epididymis

TESA: Get it dissected out of tubules from the testis

Both these options make the most reliable choice for sperm extraction and performing the ART to boost the chance of pregnancy.

If you are thinking of a better understanding of how it works, visit the PESA Centre in Punjab to make an informed decision. Some of the possible reasons are:

Sometimes the obstruction occurs in the genital tract due to surgery, infection, or trauma.
