La i-testicle biopsy ukuhlola okubandakanya ukuthatha isampula lesicubu kwelinye noma womabili amasende bese siwahlola.

Amasende yizindlala ezitholakalayo ku-scrotum, phansi kwe umthondo. Khiqiza isidoda, ezidingekayo ukuze ukukhiqiza kabusha, Futhi ama-hormone afana ne-testosterone.

I-testicular biopsy ingenziwa ezimweni ezilandelayo:

• ukunquma i imbangela yokungazali kowesilisa, uma ezinye izivivinyo zingakwazanga ukumkhomba (uma kwenzeka i-azoospermia noma ukungabikho kwe-spermatozoa esidodeni ikakhulukazi)
• kwezinye izimo (emadodeni ane-azoospermia ehambisana nokuvinjwa kwemigudu), ukuqoqa isidoda nokwenza i-ICSI (i-intracytoplasmic sperm injection)
• Uma ukuhlolwa kwama-testes nge-palpation noma i-ultrasound kubonisa ukuba khona kwesigaxa noma ukungavamile, i-biopsy ingasiza ekunqumeni ukuthi inqwaba yomdlavuza noma cha. Kodwa-ke, ezikhathini eziningi, uma kusolwa umdlavuza, isende elithintekile lisuswa lilonke (i-orchiectomy) ngaphandle kokulibala.

Ukuhlinzwa kwenziwa ngaphansi kwe-anesthesia ejwayelekile noma yendawo yonke (i-epidural noma i-spinal anesthesia) ngemva kokushefa nokukhishwa kwe-disinfection endaweni.

Udokotela wenza ukusika okuncane esikhunjeni se-scrotum (imvamisa engxenyeni ephakathi phakathi kwamasende amabili) ukuze akhiphe ucezu oluncane lwethishu yesende. Isende kufanele likhishwe esikhwameni salo.

Ukungenelela kwenziwa ngesisekelo sokulaliswa esibhedlela, okusho ukuthi ngosuku olulodwa. Izinkinga azivamile futhi ngokuvamile azinabungozi, futhi i-hematoma ixazulula ngokuzenzakalelayo.

I-testicular biopsy isetshenziswa ngokuyinhloko ekulawulweni kokungazali kwabesilisa, ukuze kuxilongwe nokwelashwa.

Ivumela ikakhulukazi ukuqonda izinkinga ze-azoospermia futhi, endabeni ebizwa ngokuthi yi-obstructive azoospermia (ukuvinjwa kweshubhu lapho isidoda sizungeza khona sisuka kumasende siye ku-urethra), ukuze siqoqe isidoda esiphilayo ngenjongo yokwenza i-in vitro fertilization nge-ICSI.

Udokotela uzoxoxa nawe ngemiphumela futhi aphakamise ukuhlolwa okwengeziwe noma ukwelashwa, kuye ngenkinga ekhonjiwe.
