TESA

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a minimally invasive clinical procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testes using a fine needle and syringe. This technique is commonly recommended for men diagnosed with male infertility conditions, particularly obstructive azoospermia, where sperm is produced in the testes but cannot be ejaculated due to a blockage or absence of the reproductive tract.

At Maa Institute of Reproductive Medicine & IVF Centre, Delhi/NCR, TESA is performed by experienced fertility specialists using precise and advanced techniques to safely aspirate sperm from the testicular tissue. The retrieved sperm can then be used in assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF or ICSI, increasing the chances of successful conception.

TESA offers a less invasive alternative for sperm retrieval, providing hope to couples facing male infertility by enabling access to viable sperm even when it is not present in the semen.

Why TESA is Recommended ?

TESA is advised when sperm production is normal but cannot be released through ejaculation due to obstruction or related issues.
