PESA

PESA, or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration, is a medical procedure used to retrieve sperm from the epididymis, a small organ attached to the testicle. It is typically performed when a man has difficulty releasing sperm naturally due to blockages or other reproductive issues. The collected sperm can be used for assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to help couples achieve pregnancy.

A urologist or a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist) is the right doctor to consult for PESA.

PESA is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a fine needle to puncture the epididymis and aspirate sperm. No special technology is required for the procedure.
