Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) in Saudi Arabia

TESA – A Minimally Invasive Way to Retrieve Sperm in Saudi Arabia

Facing a diagnosis of azoospermia or failed ejaculation can be emotionally challenging—but there are solutions. Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) is a minimally invasive sperm retrieval method used for men who cannot ejaculate sperm naturally but still produce it within the testicles.

At VIVILITY, we offer advanced TESA procedures across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Mecca, Medina, and other major cities. With expert urologists, modern labs, and a patient-first approach, our goal is to make sperm retrieval straightforward, safe, and successful.

What is TESA?

TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a less invasive sperm retrieval technique where a fine needle is used to extract sperm directly from the testicle. Unlike surgical biopsy methods like TESE, TESA is performed under local anesthesia, requires no incision, and is typically completed in under 30 minutes.

It’s particularly useful in men with obstructive azoospermia, mild non-obstructive cases, or conditions where ejaculation is not possible, such as spinal cord injuries or retrograde ejaculation.

Who is TESA Recommended For in Saudi Arabia?

TESA is ideal for men with specific reproductive conditions that prevent sperm from being released naturally. This includes:

• Obstructive azoospermia (due to blockage or prior vasectomy)
• Non-obstructive azoospermia, in milder cases with focal sperm production
• Spinal cord injury patients or those with neurological disorders
• Retrograde ejaculation or ejaculation failure
• Men requiring sperm for IVF or ICSI cycles but unable to ejaculate on the day of procedure

TESA can often be used on the same day as egg retrieval in IVF, offering convenience and efficiency.

How the TESA Procedure Works

At VIVILITY, we prioritize patient comfort and procedural precision. TESA is performed as an outpatient procedure and typically takes less than an hour.

Step-by-step overview:

1. Local anesthesia is applied to the scrotal area for comfort
2. A thin needle is inserted into the testicle to aspirate small tissue samples
3. The collected material is sent immediately to the lab for sperm isolation
4. The sperm is either used fresh for ICSI or frozen for later use
5. Patients are discharged the same day, with minimal discomfort and no incision scars

Using TESA for IVF and ICSI

TESA is most commonly used to support assisted reproductive treatments such as IVF and ICSI. Even a small number of sperm retrieved via TESA can be used to fertilize eggs through Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

Here’s how TESA fits into your IVF journey:

• TESA is scheduled before or on the same day as egg retrieval
• Sperm is retrieved and processed in the lab by our embryology team
• A single sperm is injected into each mature egg using ICSI
• The resulting embryos are cultured and transferred for implantation
• Unused sperm may be cryopreserved for future cycles
