TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a minimally invasive procedure used to retrieve sperm directly from the testicle using a fine needle under local anesthesia. It is commonly recommended for men with azoospermia, and the retrieved sperm can be used for IVF or ICSI treatments.
TESA is commonly recommended for men with azoospermia, obstructive infertility, or ejaculatory dysfunction where sperm cannot be released naturally. The retrieved sperm can be used for IVF or ICSI treatments, especially in cases where other sperm retrieval methods have not been successful.
While both IVF and ICSI involve egg fertilization outside the body, the main distinction is in the method:
In IVF, eggs and sperms are mixed together, allowing sperm to naturally penetrate the egg.
In ICSI, a single healthy sperm is injected directly into the egg, increasing success rates, especially for men with low sperm count or motility.
The fertility specialist evaluates the patient’s medical history, semen analysis reports, and overall reproductive health before recommending TESA treatment.
Local anesthesia is given to ensure the procedure is comfortable and causes minimal pain or discomfort.
A fine needle is carefully inserted into the testicular tissue to retrieve fluid and tissue samples containing sperm.
The collected sample is immediately examined under a microscope to identify and isolate healthy sperm cells.
The aspirated fluid is collected safely and transferred to the laboratory for examination.
Embryologists examine the sample under a microscope to identify healthy and viable sperm.
Retrieved sperm is used immediately or preserved for assisted fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI.
The patient is discharged after a short recovery period and follow-up guidance is provided for further fertility planning.
Sperm freezing treatment costs generally include the initial fertility consultation, semen analysis, sperm collection procedure, laboratory processing, cryopreservation, and storage charges. The total cost may vary depending on the number of samples stored, freezing technology used, and storage duration selected by the patient.
The total sperm freezing cost is usually divided into fertility assessment, semen analysis, sperm preparation and washing, cryopreservation procedure, laboratory handling, and annual storage fees. Advanced laboratory techniques help preserve sperm quality and improve future fertility treatment outcomes.
Additional charges may apply for advanced semen testing, viral marker screening, multiple sample collections, extended storage duration, emergency freezing procedures, or future fertility treatments such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI using frozen sperm samples. Costs may vary based on individual treatment needs.
The overall sperm freezing cost can be influenced by semen quality, number of samples collected, storage duration, laboratory infrastructure, fertility specialist expertise, and additional fertility evaluations required before the procedure. The type of cryopreservation technology used may also impact pricing.
Selecting suitable storage plans, understanding package inclusions, freezing samples early when sperm quality is better, and discussing transparent pricing options with fertility specialists can help optimize overall sperm freezing costs while ensuring safe and reliable fertility preservation.
The cost of TESA treatment depends on factors such as diagnostic tests, procedure complexity, and additional fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI.
Since it is a personalized treatment, the cost may vary for each patient. A consultation helps determine the exact treatment plan and associated expenses.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal.
Men with azoospermia or blockage in sperm flow may benefit from this procedure.
Success depends on individual conditions but is effective in suitable cases.
