A member asked:

Is a testicular biopsy done to look for sperm?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and No: A testicular biopsy, done in conjunction with ivf / icsi, can be done to look for sperm in different poles of the testicle or different sides. It is also a diagnostic procedure to discover the cause of lack of sperm in the semen or azospermia.
