TESA: A Breakthrough in Male Fertility Treatment

Male infertility contributes to nearly 50% of all infertility cases, and in India, increasing awareness is pushing more men to seek diagnosis and treatment. One revolutionary solution for azoospermia — a condition where no sperm is found in the ejaculate — is TESA or Testicular Sperm Aspiration.

At the forefront of this breakthrough is New World Fertility, offering expert care, advanced technologies, and impressive success rates. This blog dives into how TESA works, who it's for, success factors, costs in India, and why it’s changing lives.

What is TESA?

TESA is a minimally invasive procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles when sperm is absent in the ejaculate. This procedure is crucial for men with:

• Obstructive azoospermia: Sperm is produced but cannot reach the semen due to blockages.
• Non-obstructive azoospermia: The body produces very few or no sperm.
• Ejaculation disorders: Where natural ejaculation isn’t possible.
  
  

In TESA, a fine needle is used under local anaesthesia to aspirate tissue from the testicle, which is then examined to extract viable sperm for use in IVF with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) or for cryopreservation.

Who Should Consider TESA?

TESA is often recommended when:

• There's a history of vasectomy or congenital absence of the vas deferens.

• Previous semen analysis shows zero or very low sperm count.

• Ejaculation is impaired due to injury, diabetes, or spinal cord issues.

• Couples want to explore ICSI using the male partner’s sperm instead of a donor.

Step-by-Step: How TESA Works:- 

• Consultation and Diagnosis: Hormonal tests, semen analysis, and scrotal ultrasound.

• Procedure Day: TESA is done under local anaesthesia. It takes 15–30 minutes.
• Lab Evaluation: The aspirated tissue is examined by embryologists to find viable sperm.
• Post-care: Minor swelling or discomfort is normal. Recovery usually occurs within 2–3 days.
  
  
  

TESA vs Other Techniques:- 

TESA is often the first-line choice due to its simplicity and lower cost. If unsuccessful, more advanced procedures like Micro-TESE may be considered.

TESA Procedure Cost in India:-

In India, the cost of TESA varies depending on the location, clinic expertise, and whether it’s combined with IVF or ICSI.
