Testicular Biopsy

Alternate Names : Biopsy, Testicle

Testicular Biopsy | Preparation & Expectations | Results and Values

What do the test results mean?

In the case of a testicular lump, a testicular biopsy result will show if there are any cancer cells present. If the biopsy is being done as part of an infertility workup, sperm development is analyzed. It sperm development appears normal, and the man has had a previous semen analysis that showed no sperm, the cause of infertility may be a blockage in the tube carrying the sperm. In both these cases, further surgery may be necessary.
