A specialized kind of FNA (fine-needle aspiration) in which cells are taken from both testicles for microscopic examination is called FNA Bilateral Testis at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. Our NABL & NABH certified laboratory provides advanced diagnostic services to assess certain selected testicle-related disorders and as a specialized Cytology procedure that can be used as a reassessment of certain male reproductive health concerns.
Both testes (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology-bilateral testis) are used for diagnostic purposes; A fine needle is used to collect cellular material from both the right and left testicles for cytological examination. It is used to examine the cells of the testicles under the microscope to look for abnormalities and any cells that make sperm. The protocol may be suggested as a component of evaluation of a male's fertility, specifically in some men with azoospermia (semen without sperm) in their semen. It can be used to supply data on the activity of the cells in the testicles, and can also assist doctors in their investigation of some of the reasons why the testicles do not make enough sperm.
FNA Bilateral Testis is a relatively simple and minimally invasive biopsy procedure, whereby a sample of cells is taken from both testicles for cytology. All the material gathered is placed on glass slides and a pathologist shows and studies them. The exam should be employed to establish if the germ cells, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and other components of the testicles are present. Results provide information about the production of sperm (spermatogenesis). The outcomes from the FNAs are taken into account along with semen analysis and hormonal research and in the course of physical examination and other suitable tests.
For azoospermic men, FNAC can be used to determine the status of the cellular activity of the testes. The outcome can serve to decide whether there is normal production of sperm in the testicular tissue.
An exam can offer information concerning the cellular progress of sperm development and may be able to assist in determining abnormalities in the sperm production process.
The cytological evaluation of the selected conditions of the testicular tissue and the cellular components can be performed.
The aspirated sample may be examined for germ cells and other testicular cell types involved in spermatogenesis.
Comparative cytological assessment of samples from both testicles may help identify differences in cellular composition or spermatogenic activity.
Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an advanced centre of excellence in the field of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Pathology accredited by NABL and NABH. We are equipped with experts, good practices in the laboratory, cutting-edge technology and patient care to assist us in our diagnostic services. Our focus is on how to sample to make a correct cytological diagnosis and how it should be reported accurately to confidently assist with clinical decision-making.
If you have a medical practitioner who recommended you to have Bilateral Testis FNAC, kindly contact the dealership to know stay schedule/availability/what are the charges applicable. Bring your prescription and past reports from your doctor on semen analysis, any hormonal tests, any ultrasound reports, etc., if available, regarding your medical condition. A specialist will provide you with information on whether the procedure is appropriate and what you need to do to prepare.
