Icsi sperm aspiration

Using an operating microscope, an incision is made into these tubules and sperm is aspirated. This can be emotionally draining for you and your partner. The testicular size may be small. Age of the female partner and length of time since prior vasectomy are important factors in decision-making. Instead of going out through the penis, the semen is pushed back into the bladder. There are many ways to get sperm from the reproductive tract. The information here should help you and your partner talk with your urologist.

The highest pregnancy rates with this approach and the least pain and discomfort to the male require that these sperm retrieval procedures be performed microsurgically, and not with either crude needlesticks or gross surgical techniques. The babies from ICSI are healthy and genetically normal. Which sperm retrieval procedure is recommended? The testicle may shrink and die.
