What is the difference between TESE and Tesa?
These samplings can be done by 2 methods: 1) TESE (testicular sperm extraction), which is actually a surgical biopsy of the testis; or 2) TESA (testicular sperm aspiration), which is performed by sticking a needle in the testis and aspirating fluid and tissue with negative pressure.
Know About Revolutionary Non-Invasive Treatment For Varicocele Disease
Varicocele is a condition in which the veins present in the loose skin pouch holding the testicles gets enlarged. These veins contain one-way valves that work to allow blood to flow from the testicles and scrotum back to the heart. When these valves fail, the blood pools and enlarges the veins around the testicle in the scrotum to cause a varicocele. It is more common on left side, however it can happen on both sides.The incidence of varicocele in healthy males is 15% and in males facing fertility issues, it can be around 35%. In fact it is the most common cause of male infertility.
Symptoms Of Varicocele
- An unusual swelling in the scrotum
- A dull aching pain in the scrotum on long-standing or heavy weight lifting
- Pain radiating to groin and lower back
- Reduced sperm count and quality
- Infertility
- Change in size of testicles
Varicocele Embolization: Experts’ Most Trusted Option
Varicocele embolization is carried out by the interventional radiologist with the help of imaging guidance. In this procedure, special blocking material is injected inside the abnormal veins. This procedure causes the veins to shrink resulting in a reduction in the size of the enlarged vein. By doing the varicocele embolization, blood flow is directed to other normal pathways. Varicocele embolization essentially stops blood flow internally, therefore, accomplishing what the urologist does, but without a surgical procedure. The recovery time is shorter when compared to surgery and there are no scars or stitches.
