Question

Which Assisted Reproductive Technology would be most suitable for a man with azoospermia and normal female fertility?

Options

• Surrogacy

• GIFT

• TESE combined with ICSI

• IUI alone

Answer 1

For a man with azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) and a normally fertile female partner, TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) combined with ICSI (Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is most suitable. TESE surgically extracts sperm directly from testicular tissue, and these retrieved sperm are then injected via ICSI into the partner's eggs. This combination bypasses the ejaculatory problem while preserving genetic paternity.
