At Bangkok Central Clinic, we offer advanced surgical sperm retrieval techniques to support men facing infertility challenges. These procedures are commonly recommended for cases of azoospermia (absence of sperm in semen) and are typically used in combination with IVF or ICSI treatments.
Our specialists ensure safe, precise procedures with maximum comfort and care.
A minor surgical procedure where sperm is directly retrieved from the testicular tissue. This method is often recommended when sperm production is very low or absent.
A minimally invasive technique where sperm is collected from the epididymis using a fine needle. It is commonly used in cases where sperm production is normal but blocked from being released.
These procedures are commonly recommended for men with azoospermia—a condition where no sperm is present in the ejaculate—and are used in conjunction with IVF or ICSI fertility treatments.

Azoospermia is a condition where no sperm is found in the ejaculate. It can be caused by physical blockages or by problems in sperm production.
A thorough consultation with your fertility doctor, including hormone tests and ultrasound, will determine the most suitable approach based on your specific condition.
PESA is quick and typically involves very little discomfort. TESE may result in some swelling or tenderness, but pain is generally mild and temporary.
Most patients return to normal activities within 1–3 days. Avoid strenuous exercise or sexual activity for a short period, as advised by your doctor.
Yes. At Bangkok Central Clinic, retrieved sperm can be frozen and stored securely for future IVF or ICSI procedures.
While success rates are high, especially with obstructive azoospermia, sperm retrieval isn’t always guaranteed. Your doctor will explain your specific chances after diagnosis.
Choosing the right sperm retrieval technique can significantly improve your chances of success with IVF or ICSI. At Bangkok Central Clinic, we combine expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate care to support you at every step.
