Diagnosed With No Sperm in Ejaculate? Sperm Retrieval Techniques Can Help You Conceive

At VIVILITY, we offer a wide range of surgical and non-surgical sperm extraction techniques tailored to your medical needs. Whether caused by obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia, we provide solutions to help you become a father.

Book your sperm retrieval consultation today at one of our clinics in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, or anywhere in KSA and begin your fertility recovery.

What Are Sperm Retrieval Techniques?

Sperm retrieval techniques are medical procedures that collect sperm directly from the male reproductive tract. These techniques are typically used when sperm is not present in the ejaculate due to a blockage or production issue—yet still exists in the testicles or epididymis.

The retrieved sperm can then be used for assisted reproductive treatments like IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), making parenthood possible for men with even the most complex fertility conditions.

Whether you’re dealing with non-obstructive azoospermia, past vasectomy, or spinal cord injury, VIVILITY offers the right procedure for your situation.

When Is Sperm Retrieval Needed?

You may benefit from sperm retrieval procedures if you’ve been diagnosed with:

• Obstructive azoospermia (due to vasectomy, blockage, or injury)
  
  
• Non-obstructive azoospermia (testicular failure or genetic issues)
  
  
• Retrograde ejaculation (semen enters the bladder instead of exiting the penis)
  
  
• Failed ejaculation due to nerve damage or diabetes
  
  
• Spinal cord injury preventing natural ejaculation
  
  
• Previous failed IVF/ICSI cycles with no sperm found
  
  
• History of testicular surgery or trauma
  
  

Even if your semen analysis shows zero sperm count, specialized procedures like Micro-TESE or TESA may still retrieve viable sperm for fertilization.

Types of Sperm Retrieval Techniques Available in Saudi Arabia

At VIVILITY, we offer the full spectrum of sperm retrieval procedures, chosen based on your diagnosis, medical history, and fertility goals.

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)
A simple, minimally invasive technique involving needle aspiration of sperm from the testicle.

PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
Used for men with obstructive azoospermia. A needle extracts sperm from the epididymis.

MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
Performed under a microscope for higher precision. Ideal when large quantities of sperm are needed.

TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
An open surgical biopsy is used when simpler aspirations fail. Typically done under local or general anesthesia.

Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction)
The gold standard for non-obstructive azoospermia. Involves high-precision dissection of testicular tissue to locate rare sperm-producing regions.

Electroejaculation
Used in cases of nerve damage or spinal cord injuries. Stimulates ejaculation through a mild electrical current under anesthesia.
