MESA/TESE
MESA/TESE are sperm collection procedures used for male infertility when no or few sperm can be found in the ejaculate.
Everything you should know about TESE
MESA (Microscopic Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) and TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) are methods of sperm collection that can be used for male infertility.
MESA is used when the male vas deferens is blocked and no sperm can be found in the ejaculate. In the MESA method, sperm are collected directly from the epididymis by inserting a fine needle under a microscope. The collected sperm can then be used in a fertility clinic to fertilize an egg.
TESE, on the other hand, is used when no sperm can be found in the ejaculate or epididymis. In the TESE method, sperm are collected directly from the testicular tissue by surgically removing a small tissue sample. The retrieved sperm can then also be used in a fertility clinic to fertilize an egg.
MESA and TESE are invasive procedures and require local anesthesia. There is also a risk of pain, bleeding or infection. In addition, not all couples can benefit from these procedures, as there may not be enough sperm to ensure successful fertilization.
Overall, however, MESA and TESE can help couples with male infertility fulfill their fertility. It is important to consult with an experienced reproductive medicine specialist to determine if these procedures are appropriate for you and your partner.
