TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) in Hyderabad – Effective Sperm Retrieval for Male Infertility at Shubha Fertility
Male infertility affects nearly half of all couples struggling to conceive, but with advances in assisted reproductive technology, effective solutions like TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) offer real hope. At Shubha Fertility, we provide advanced sperm retrieval options, including TESA, to help couples take the next step toward parenthood.
What is TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration)?
Men who have no sperm in their ejaculate because of conditions like azoospermia (lack of sperm) can benefit from TESA, a minimally invasive sperm retrieval treatment. Using a tiny needle, sperm are extracted straight from the testicular tissue during this process. This straightforward outpatient surgery is carried out under either local or brief general anesthesia. When sperm production occurs in the testes but does not manifest in the semen, TESA is frequently advised for men with obstructive or non-obstructive azoospermia. Understanding the distinctions between TESA, TESE (testicular sperm extraction), and MicroTESE (microsurgical extraction performed under a microscope for severe instances) is crucial. TESE involves taking a tiny tissue sample. Depending on your unique situation, your fertility specialist will decide on the best course of action.
When is TESA Recommended for Male Infertility?
- Obstructive azoospermia – due to vasectomy, congenital absence of vas deferens, or scarring
- Non-obstructive azoospermia – when the testes produce very little sperm
- When ejaculation is not possible due to retrograde ejaculation or spinal injury
- In combination with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) in IVF treatments
TESA is a reliable option that can make biological fatherhood possible even when sperm is not found in the semen sample.

How TESA Procedure is Done – Step by Step
- Pre-procedure assessment – Hormonal tests, ultrasound, and semen analysis
- Anesthesia – Local or short general anesthesia is administered
- Aspiration – A fine needle is inserted into the testis to extract sperm-containing fluid
- Sample processing – The sample is examined in the lab for viable sperm
- Sperm usage – Retrieved sperm is used immediately in ICSI or frozen for future cycles
The entire process takes less than 30 minutes, and patients can go home the same day.
TESA Success Rate and Cost
The success of TESA depends on the underlying cause of male infertility and the presence of viable sperm in the testis. In cases of obstructive azoospermia, success rates are high, and retrieved sperm can usually be used effectively in ICSI treatments.
At Shubha Fertility, we maintain affordable and transparent pricing for TESA. Costs vary based on individual requirements and whether the procedure is combined with IVF/ICSI. Contact our team for a detailed consultation and cost estimate.
