Testicular sperm extraction is a procedure where sperms are taken directly from the testicles or the testicular tissues of the reproductive system. This procedure is done for many fertility reasons if the male cannot produce naturally healthy sperm or if the level of sperm is inadequate. This procedure is done by making a few small cuts on the testicle to remove a small amount of tissue. The sperm from this extract can be used to fertilize an egg or can be kept frozen for future use.
