Testicular sample

A surgical microscope is used in many treatments of male diseases and infertility, including the treatment of lack of sperm, and is done by taking a sample from the testicle.

Lack of sperm became a specter threatening the reproductive health of men, fearing that the dream of having children would not be fulfilled until a testicular microscope examination appeared.

A testicular sample is used to look for invisible sperm in the usual semen test, so a testicular biopsy is a new hope for couples to achieve the dream of parenthood.

Testicular sample by a surgical microscope

A surgical microscope is used in many treatments of male diseases as well as infertility, including the treatment of aspermia, and it is done by taking a sample from the testicle in the following steps:

A surgical microscope is used to enlarge testicular cells with a magnification capacity of 40 times, where the andrologist can see the cells.

The doctor of the Riyadh Fertility Center searches for invisible sperm foci to take a sample from them for examination.

It can also see tiny capillaries which makes it avoid any complications such as bleeding.

The area of the wound does not exceed 1 cm of the skin, so the patient can exercise his activity quickly within 48-72 hours.

Reasons for the absence of sperm

Lack of sperm is a condition that causes infertility in men, where the semen is devoid of sperm and its number is zero, so we resort to taking a sample from the testicle.

Causes of aspermia in men include, for example:

• The presence of hormonal imbalance.
• Atrophy or small size of the testicle.
• Hereditary factors.
• Testicular infections.
•  Exposure to testicular surgeries.
• Obstruction of the reproductive system.

Treatment of male infertility varies from case to case at Riyadh Fertility Center, where the Joy Makers team chooses the appropriate treatment plan according to the cause leading to infertility, and examples of treatment are:

• Hormone drug therapy stimulates sperm production.
• Antibiotics for the treatment of infections of the reproductive system.
• Surgical treatment in varicocelectomy.
• Taking a sample from the testicle to inspect sperm through a surgical microscope and using it in the ICSI procedure or freezing it and using it afterward.

The success rate of taking a sample from the testicle using a surgical microscope is higher than other regular surgeries due to its great ability in the inspection and examination process. In addition to a greater increase in the percentage of sperm access and the return of hope to men in achieving the dream of having children.
