What is TESA Treatment?
At Gem Hospital & IVF Centre, we offer comprehensive fertility treatments, including TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) treatment, to assist men facing infertility challenges. TESA is a minimally invasive procedure designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles when there is no sperm in the semen, a condition often referred to as azoospermia.
What is TESA Treatment?
TESA is a procedure used to collect sperm from the testicles of men who are unable to produce sperm in their ejaculate. This is typically the case for men suffering from non-obstructive azoospermia, a condition where sperm production is either absent or severely impaired. TESA is especially beneficial for men who have a blockage or issues with sperm production that prevent the sperm from reaching the semen.
Why is TESA Treatment Used?
TESA is commonly used for men with the following conditions:
- Non-Obstructive Azoospermia:
This occurs when there is a failure in sperm production by the testes, usually due to hormonal issues, genetic factors, or past medical conditions like infections or trauma. - Obstructive Azoospermia:
In some cases of obstructive azoospermia, where the sperm is produced but unable to pass through the vas deferens (the duct that carries sperm), TESA can be used to retrieve sperm directly from the testes. - Post-Vasectomy:
Men who have had a vasectomy but later decide to have children can opt for TESA as a means to retrieve sperm for use in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection). - Testicular Failure or Injury:
Men with testicular failure, injury, or conditions like varicocele, which can affect sperm production, may use TESA to collect sperm.
How is TESA Performed?
TESA is a relatively simple and safe procedure, typically performed under local anesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort. The steps include:
- Consultation:
A detailed consultation with a fertility specialist at Gem Hospital & IVF Centre will be the first step. Your medical history, fertility issues, and reasons for opting for TESA will be reviewed. - Sperm Retrieval:
During the procedure, a fine needle is inserted into the testicle to aspirate sperm directly from the tissue. A small amount of tissue is usually taken for examination to confirm the presence of viable sperm. - Sperm Analysis:
The retrieved sperm is carefully analyzed in our state-of-the-art laboratory. If healthy sperm is found, it can be used immediately for assisted reproductive techniques, such as IVF or ICSI. - Post-Procedure Care:
The procedure is minimally invasive, and recovery is typically quick. Some mild discomfort and swelling may occur, but this resolves within a few days. Patients are usually able to resume normal activities within 1-2 days.
Benefits of TESA Treatment
- Minimally Invasive:
TESA is a relatively simple and minimally invasive procedure, with minimal recovery time compared to more invasive sperm retrieval options like TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction). - High Success Rates:
TESA has proven to be effective for sperm retrieval, even in cases of severe male infertility. The sperm collected can be used in IVF or ICSI, increasing the chances of conception. - Preserving Fertility Options:
For men diagnosed with azoospermia or other sperm-related issues, TESA offers the option to preserve fertility and attempt conception via assisted reproductive techniques. - Suitable for Many Types of Male Infertility:
Whether the issue is related to sperm production or a blockage in the reproductive tract, TESA provides a solution that works for many men with infertility.
