Surgical Sperm Retrieval Treatment in Noida
Book an AppointmentWhat is Surgical Sperm Retrieval Treatment?
Sometimes, there’s no sperm in a man’s semen. That’s called azoospermia. It can happen because of a blockage or because the testicles aren’t making enough sperm. But that doesn’t always mean the sperm isn’t there. Surgical sperm retrieval is a way to get it out. It’s done using tiny tools. The sperm is collected from the testicle or the nearby areas. It’s a short procedure. Doesn’t need big cuts. And it helps couples use IVF or ICSI when natural methods don’t work. SCI IVF offers this with care, privacy, and lab support. It gives hope in tough cases.

Embryologists match sperm collection with the woman’s egg retrieval. The setup controls air, light, and temperature. Samples can be frozen or used fresh. SCI IVF is trusted for surgical sperm retrieval in Noida because they get results without stress or confusion.

Important Lab Tests Before Treatment
For Men
For men, a semen analysis comes first. If no sperm is found, hormone tests and scrotal ultrasound may follow. Sometimes, a genetic test is also done to check if there’s a missing Y chromosome. For women, the doctor may recommend basic hormone tests and an ultrasound to time the cycle right if IVF is involved. Not all tests are needed in every case. The doctor decides based on the couple’s history and current fertility plan.
For Women (if required for IVF/ICSI)
What to Expect
During the Process
You lie down. A small injection numbs the area. The doctor uses a thin needle or a small cut to remove sperm. It doesn’t take long—about 20–30 minutes. Most men say it feels more like pressure than pain. Once it’s done, the sperm goes straight to the lab. The team checks if it’s good enough for IVF or ICSI. Sometimes, it’s frozen. Sometimes, it’s used right away. You rest a bit, and then you go home. No hospital stay needed.
After the Process
Mild soreness is normal for a day or two. You might see a bit of swelling. Ice helps. Pain meds, too. No gym or sex for a week. Just rest. The doctor will tell you when to come back. If the sperm is frozen, it’s stored till you need it. If you’re doing IVF now, the lab uses it right away. Watch for fever or sharp pain—that’s rare, but report it fast. Most men recover quickly. No long downtime.

Step-by-Step Procedure
- Consultation – The doctor first confirms azoospermia with a semen test. If needed, further scans or hormone tests are done.
- Planning – Based on your issue, the doctor picks the method: PESA (needle through skin), TESA (needle into testicle), or TESE (small cut).
- Prepping – You’re given local anesthesia. It numbs the area. Sometimes mild sedation is used.
- Collection – A needle or surgical tool is used to extract sperm. The sample goes to the lab immediately.
- Lab Check – Embryologists examine the sample under a microscope. Good sperm is isolated, cleaned, and either frozen or used right away.
- Post-care – You rest for a short time and go home. Antibiotics or painkillers may be given.
- Follow-up – The doctor checks the healing and talks about next steps for IVF or ICSI.
Each method is chosen based on what gives the best outcome with the least discomfort.

It’s often the only way to have a biological child in azoospermia cases. Couples may choose it when sperm can’t come out naturally. It’s less invasive than testicular biopsies used in the past.
