TESA Treatment in Surat

Female First Hospital offers TESA treatment in Surat (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) — a quick, minimally invasive sperm-retrieval procedure for men with certain types of male-factor infertility. It is performed by Dr. Sweta Patel‘s specialist team and used together with IVF – ICSI to help couples achieve pregnancy even when sperm is not present in the ejaculate.

What Is TESA?

Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minor procedure that typically takes 5–10 minutes under sedation. A fine needle is used to draw sperm directly from the testis. The retrieved sperm is then used in an IVF–ICSI cycle, where a single sperm is injected into an egg to achieve fertilization.

Who Is TESA Recommended For?

TESA is generally suitable for men with obstructive azoospermia — where sperm production is normal but a blockage prevents sperm from reaching the ejaculate. It is often advised for:

• Obstructive azoospermia (blockage in the reproductive tract)
• Absence of the vas deferens
• Previous vasectomy or failed vasectomy reversal
• Ejaculatory dysfunction where sperm cannot be collected normally

For men with non-obstructive azoospermia, other retrieval techniques such as TESE, MESA or PESA may be more appropriate. The right option is decided after evaluation.

The TESA Procedure

TESA is straightforward and completed as a day procedure:

• Performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation.
• A fine needle aspirates sperm directly from the testicular tissue.
• The procedure usually takes just 5–10 minutes.
• Retrieved sperm is prepared in the lab for use in IVF–ICSI.

Recovery After TESA

Recovery is quick. Most men experience only mild soreness or swelling for a day or two and can resume normal activities soon after. Detailed aftercare guidance is provided by our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TESA painful?

No. TESA is done under local anaesthesia or sedation, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild soreness afterwards usually settles within a day or two.

Can sperm from TESA be frozen?

Yes. If suitable sperm is retrieved, it can often be frozen for use in future IVF–ICSI cycles, avoiding a repeat procedure.

What if no sperm is found?

If TESA does not retrieve usable sperm, alternative techniques or donor sperm options may be discussed with you.
