PESA Treatment in Surat

Female First Hospital offers PESA treatment in Surat (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) — a quick, minimally invasive sperm-retrieval procedure for men with obstructive azoospermia. Performed by Dr. Sweta Patel‘s specialist team and used with IVF – ICSI, PESA is a simpler and more cost-effective alternative to MESA.

What is PESA?

PESA is a minimally invasive technique used to retrieve sperm in men with a suspected blockage of the vas deferens — the tube that carries sperm from the testis. Because it uses a fine needle rather than open microsurgery, it is quicker and more affordable than some other retrieval methods, while still being effective for suitable candidates.

How PESA Works

PESA is a simple outpatient procedure:

• A fine needle is inserted through the skin of the scrotum.
• Sperm is aspirated from the epididymis, where sperm are stored after production in the testes.

The retrieved sperm can be used immediately for ICSI, or frozen for future IVF cycles.

Who Is PESA Recommended For?

PESA is ideal for men with obstructive azoospermia — where sperm production is normal but a blockage prevents sperm from reaching the ejaculate. It is often chosen when a quick, less invasive option is preferred.

Where PESA does not retrieve enough sperm, or in more complex cases, MESA, TESA or TESE may be recommended. The right approach is decided after evaluation.

Why Choose PESA?

• Quick, outpatient procedure
• Less invasive than surgical alternatives
• More cost-effective than MESA
• Ideal for men with obstructive azoospermia

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between PESA and MESA?

Both retrieve sperm from the epididymis in obstructive azoospermia, but PESA uses a fine needle (quicker, more affordable), while MESA uses open microsurgery (more precise, often retrieves more sperm). Your specialist recommends the best option for your case.

Is PESA painful?

PESA is done under local anaesthesia or sedation, so the procedure is not painful. Mild soreness afterwards usually settles quickly.

Can PESA sperm be frozen?

Yes. Retrieved sperm can often be frozen for use in future IVF–ICSI cycles.
