Who is it for?
For men with fertility issues requiring sperm collection for assisted reproductive technologies
Benefits

How it Works
Minimally invasive methods like TESA or PESA collect sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis, typically used when no sperm is present in the ejaculate, aiding in assisted reproductive technologies.
Duration
1-2 hours
Recovery
Recovery times are minimal, with many patients resuming normal activities within 1-2 days as these outpatient procedures involve small incisions or needle aspirations.
