For couples trying to conceive, male infertility is a nasty hurdle, but with advancements in reproductive medicine hope has opened new doors. Another solution of such kind is the Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE), which is a minimally invasive procedure for getting viable sperm directly from the testicles. Nex IVF Centre offers the best practices in IVF care through our state-of-the-art facilities and personalized care.

What is TESE?
TESE, or Testicular Sperm Extraction, is a surgical procedure designed for men who have little to no sperm present in their ejaculate due to conditions such as:
- Complete absence of sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia)
- Blocking of sperm ducts (obstructive infertility)
- Poor or absent sperm production in the testes (non-obstructive infertility)
In this procedure, they take small pieces of tissue from the testicles and examine these for sperm that may be used for sperm such as Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).
When is TESE Recommended?
TESE is commonly recommended for:
- Azoospermic Men: Obstructive and non-obstructive causes.
- Failed Vasectomy Reversal: When standard methods don’t reestablish sperm flow.
- Genetic or Hormonal Factors: Klinefelter syndrome or hypogonadism.
What is Involved in the TESE Procedure?
TESE is done under local or general anaesthesia by an experienced fertility specialist at Nex IVF Centre. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown:
Pre-Procedure Evaluation:
To see if you are a TESE candidate, you have to be subjected to a thorough assessment of your hormone and genetic levels.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval:
A hole is made in the scrotum.
One or both testicles have tissue samples taken.
Under a microscope, sperm cells are located in the samples.
Cryopreservation (Optional):
It is preserved if viable sperm is found, in case it can be used in ICSI or other fertility treatments.
Recovery: These usually respond within a couple of days and their pain is managed with prescribed medications, which are usually painless to recover.
