TESA - PESA

The road to parenthood can sometimes have unexpected turns. For some couples struggling with infertility, traditional methods of sperm collection might not be an option. That's where TESA and PESA come in. These advanced techniques allow us to retrieve sperm directly, offering a renewed sense of hope for building your family. At Shachi Women's Hospital in Ahmedabad, we understand the emotional journey of infertility. Our team of compassionate fertility specialists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care and the most advanced procedures, including TESA-PESA Male Infertility Treatment. We'll work with you every step of the way to make your dream of parenthood a reality.

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a minimally invasive procedure to retrieve sperm directly from the testicular tissue. It is particularly beneficial for men with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia, allowing for the collection of viable sperm for use in assisted reproductive techniques such as ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection).

PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is another minimally invasive procedure that retrieves sperm from the epididymis, the coiled tube where sperm matures and is stored. PESA is especially useful for men with obstructive azoospermia, providing an effective method for obtaining sperm when it is not present in the ejaculate.

TESA involves a straightforward and minimally invasive process to retrieve sperm directly from the testicle. The steps include :

• The patient receives local anaesthesia to numb the area.
• A very thin needle is inserted directly into the testicle.
• Testicular tissue and fluid are aspirated, and the sample is sent to the laboratory for sperm extraction and analysis.

PESA is a minimally invasive technique to collect sperm from the epididymis. The steps involved are :

• Local anaesthesia is administered to the scrotal area.
• A fine needle is used to collect a sperm sample from the epididymis.
• The sample is processed to isolate viable sperm for IVF procedures.

Understanding the differences between TESA and PESA is crucial for determining the most suitable approach for addressing male infertility issues. Here are the key distinctions between these two procedures :

• Location of Sperm Retrieval :- TESA involves extracting sperm directly from the testicles, while PESA retrieves sperm from the epididymis.
• Use Cases :- TESA is used for obstructive and non-obstructive Azoospermia Treatment, whereas PESA is primarily used for obstructive Azoospermia Treatment.
• Procedure :- Both procedures are minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, but they target different parts of the male reproductive tract.

The cost of Azoospermia Treatment along with TESA and PESA procedures can vary depending on individual patient requirements and the specifics of their condition. On average, the cost ranges from INR 20,000 to INR 40,000 per procedure. At Shachi Women's Hospital, we are committed to providing transparent pricing and affordable fertility treatment options without compromising on quality or care.

TESA is recommended for men who :

• Have blockages preventing sperm from reaching semen.
• Have very low or no sperm production.
• Want children after a vasectomy (without reversal).
• Couldn't get sperm through other methods.

PESA is a fertility option for men who :

• Have blockage issues stopping sperm from leaving their body.
• Had a vasectomy reversal that didn't work.
• Have trouble producing sperm in their semen.

TESA offers numerous benefits for men undergoing fertility treatments. Here are some key advantages :

• Minimally Invasive procedure.
• Quicker recovery times.
• Effective in retrieving viable sperm for use in assisted reproductive techniques.
• High Success Rates.
• Enhanced Fertility Options (allowing them to father biological children).
• Painless procedure.
• Very affordable.
• Quick Procedure (Typically completed within an hour).

PESA provides several significant benefits for men facing infertility challenges. Key advantages include :

• Less invasive than surgical alternatives
• Fast recovery time.
• Causes no pain.
• Inexpensive process.
• Successfully retrieves sperm from the epididymis for use in assisted reproductive techniques.
• Typically performed within an hour.
• Ideal for men with obstructive azoospermia, providing a direct method for sperm retrieval.

The success of TESA and PESA Treatment depends on several factors, including the underlying cause of azoospermia and the medical team's expertise. When used with ICSI, a technique where a single sperm is injected into an egg, the success rate for achieving pregnancy is around 30-35% per treatment cycle. This approach has significantly improved outcomes for couples facing severe male infertility.
