What is TESA?
TESA is a procedure where sperm is retrieved directly from the testicles using a fine needle, especially when sperm is absent in semen. A small needle is inserted into the testicle, testicular tissue is aspirated, and sperm is extracted and used for ICSI. It is needed when there is no sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia), blockage in reproductive tract, or poor sperm delivery.
