What is 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.

What is the cost of PESA treatment?

$120 to $ $600

Who is the right doctor to consult for PESA?

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

What technology is used during PESA treatment?

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.

What precautions should be taken after PESA treatment?

Take the prescribed antibiotics to prevent infection.

  • Avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for a few days after the procedure.
  • Avoid sexual activity for at least 2 days after the procedure to allow the sperm aspiration site to heal.
What are the key tests post PESA treatment?
  • A semen analysis is usually done to check the quality and quantity of the collected sperm.
  • A follow-up appointment with the doctor is necessary to check for any complications and to discuss further treatment options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, congenital heart disease can be passed down from a parent to a child. If one or both parents have a congenital heart defect, there is an increased risk of their child having the condition as well. However, it is important to note that not all congenital heart defects are inherited and some can occur due to other factors such as infections during pregnancy or exposure to certain medications or substances.

The initial treatment process for a child with congenital heart disorder depends on the type and severity of the condition. This could include medications for visible symptoms and monitoring with regular checkups.

The tests for congenital heart disorders do not always require hospitalization. Many of the tests can be performed on an outpatient basis, which means the patient can leave the hospital or clinic on the same day. However, some tests may require a short hospital stay, particularly if the patient is an infant or young child.

The treatment options for congenital heart disease may depend on the type and severity of the condition. These options may include medications or procedures like cardiac catheterization.
