Patient's question:
How is a testicular biopsy performed? Doctor, I would like to consult. During my pre-marital examination, I was diagnosed with azoospermia. Later, when I went to the hospital for treatment, they asked me to undergo a testicular biopsy.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Testicular biopsy (also known as testicular biopsy) is a clinical technique with both diagnostic and therapeutic functions. It involves a simple surgical method to obtain a small piece of living testicular tissue for pathological section histological observation. Through testicular biopsy observation, the spermatogenic function and the degree of spermatogenic dysfunction of the testis can be directly estimated, as well as the ability of the testis to synthesize steroid hormones. It is an important diagnostic method for male infertility, assessing fertility and providing direct evidence.
