At National IVF, we extend our profound expertise in assisted reproductive technology (ART) to include Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA), a specialized procedure designed to assist couples facing male infertility challenges. Our commitment is to provide a path to parenthood through expertly delivered, compassionate, and individualized care, ensuring the highest standards of expertise, experience, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) is a minimally invasive procedure that retrieves sperm directly from the epididymis, an essential part of the male reproductive system. This procedure is particularly valuable in cases where a blockage prevents sperm from being ejaculated, such as in men who have undergone a vasectomy, or where there are other issues affecting sperm transport. PESA is frequently combined with advanced reproductive techniques such as In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) to achieve successful fertilization and ultimately, pregnancy.
PESA involves a needle aspiration technique that minimizes surgical intervention.
Sperm is collected directly from the epididymis, bypassing blockages.
Often used in conjunction with IVF and ICSI for optimal fertilization outcomes.
PESA addresses several critical male infertility issues, providing hope and solutions for couples struggling to conceive due to:
This condition involves the absence of sperm in the ejaculate due to blockages in the male reproductive tract. These blockages can be congenital or acquired and prevent sperm from being present in the semen, despite normal sperm production in the testes.
Men who have undergone a vasectomy, a surgical procedure for male sterilization or permanent contraception, may choose to conceive later in life. PESA offers a solution without the need for vasectomy reversal surgery.
In cases where sperm production is low or nonexistent, and retrieval directly from the testis is not possible, PESA provides an alternative method to access viable sperm from the epididymis.
Our approach to PESA is deeply rooted in a comprehensive understanding of male reproductive health. At National IVF, we offer:
Our seasoned urologists conduct a detailed evaluation of each patient's medical history, fertility issues, and overall health to determine the suitability of PESA. This ensures personalized and effective treatment plans.
