Pesa Treatment

It seems like you may be referring to PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) treatment. PESA is a fertility treatment that involves retrieving sperm directly from the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle where sperm is stored, for use in assisted reproduction techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). This procedure is typically used for men who have a blockage or other issues preventing sperm from being ejaculated naturally.

What is PESA Treatment?

PESA is a minimally invasive procedure used to retrieve sperm from men with azoospermia, a condition where there is no sperm in the semen. This treatment is often recommended for men who:

• Have blocked sperm ducts due to previous vasectomy, infections, or congenital issues.
• Have normal testicular function but cannot ejaculate sperm due to physical obstructions.

During PESA, a fine needle is inserted into the epididymis through the scrotal skin under local anesthesia. The needle aspirates sperm directly from the epididymal tubules, which is then used for ICSI, where a single sperm is injected into an egg for fertilization.

Why Choose PESA Treatment?

• Minimally Invasive: PESA is a less invasive option compared to other sperm retrieval techniques like testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) or testicular biopsy. It is performed under local anesthesia with no need for a surgical incision.
• Higher Sperm Quality: Since the sperm is retrieved directly from the epididymis, it is often of better quality and motility compared to sperm retrieved from the testicle.
• Success Rates: PESA offers high success rates, especially when combined with advanced reproductive technologies like ICSI, to help couples achieve pregnancy.

Benefits of PESA Treatment

• Quick Recovery: PESA is a quick procedure with minimal recovery time. Most men can return to their normal activities within a day or two.
• Less Risk of Infection: Compared to more invasive surgical sperm retrieval methods, PESA carries a lower risk of infection or complications.
• Minimal Discomfort: As PESA is done under local anesthesia, patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

Who is a Candidate for PESA?

PESA is suitable for men who:

• Have a blockage in the reproductive tract, often due to vasectomy or other medical conditions.
• Have normal sperm production but cannot ejaculate sperm naturally.
• Have azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen) caused by blockages or other reproductive issues.
