Overcoming Male Infertility with Precision
When sperm are absent in the ejaculate due to low production or blockages, advanced surgical sperm retrieval techniques like TESA and PESA offer a path forward. These minimally invasive procedures make it possible to collect viable sperm for use in IVF or ICSI. At FYNE IVF, we provide expert-guided TESA/PESA treatments to support male fertility with compassion and advanced care.
What Are TESA and PESA?
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) and PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) are simple surgical procedures designed to retrieve sperm directly from the testes or epididymis. These techniques are ideal for men who:
- Have no sperm in their semen (azoospermia)
- Have undergone a vasectomy or suffer from a blockage
- Face sperm production issues due to genetic, hormonal, or unknown causes
When Is TESA/PESA Recommended?
These procedures may be advised in cases of:
Obstructive azoospermia (due to vasectomy or ductal blockage)
Non-obstructive azoospermia (due to low sperm production)
Failed previous IVF cycles due to male factor infertility
Need for sperm retrieval in same-day IVF/ICSI procedures
