PESA Procedure

The PESA Procedure (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is among the most benign techniques used to extract sperm from the epididymis of males with obstructive azoospermia or other blockages in the reproductive tract at Vrinda Fertility Centre. As a couple looking to start a family,  This  Procedure is performed by our trained professors with technology and safety measures to achieve parenthood.

Making the entire process transparent, simple, and painless is our aim. We also ensure that you know what is happening at every stage before you move on.

What Is the PESA Procedure?

This is a way to gather sperm by simply using a needle. Ever since I have fallen under local anesthesia, have been able to avoid one by one, and have been recovering quickly after every single one. These are the cases when sperm can’t go the natural route. These cases may have some form of blockages, some have even had surgery in the past, infections, and some even just have the condition from when they were born.

Who Can Benefit From This Technique?

Doctors may recommend a Procedure for men who suffer from:

  • Obstructive Azoospermia
  • Prior to a Vasectomy or a Failed Vasectomy Reversal
  • Injuries affecting the Reproductive Tract
  • Infections or a Congenital Absence of the Vas Deferens
  • Blockage within the Epididymis or the Vas Deferens

At Verinda Fertility, our andrology specialists analyze your medical record along with your test results to determine if the Mentioned Technique is suited for you.
