Understanding PESA & TESE Treatment
Male infertility can be a challenging part of the fertility journey for many couples. Fortunately, modern reproductive medicine offers advanced techniques that can help retrieve sperm directly when natural sperm production or delivery is difficult. Two commonly used procedures are PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) and TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction).
At Elite IVF – Fertility & IVF/ICSI Centre Abbottabad, we provide advanced PESA & TESE treatment in Abbottabad to help couples overcome male infertility challenges. Our specialists use modern medical techniques and careful laboratory procedures to retrieve sperm safely for use in assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF or ICSI.
These procedures can provide hope for couples where sperm is not present in the ejaculate but may still be available within the reproductive system.
PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is a procedure in which sperm is retrieved directly from the epididymis using a fine needle.
TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) is a minor surgical procedure in which sperm is extracted directly from the testicular tissue.
These procedures are commonly used for men with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia, where sperm is not present in semen but may still be produced in the testes.
Key features of PESA & TESE include:
Direct sperm retrieval from reproductive tissues
Helpful for severe male infertility cases
Often combined with IVF or ICSI treatment
Minimally invasive procedures
