Rare side effects of TESA and PESA
Although complications are rare, the following may occur:
- Bleeding in the scrotum may develop within the first few days after the procedure, leading to swelling and blue or red skin discoloration, typically subsiding after 4-6 weeks.
- Infection can occur a few days after the operation, presenting as swelling, pain at the site, possible discharge, and fever.
- Scar tissue formation on the testicle, causing prolonged soreness, which usually resolves on its own but may, in rare cases, become chronic.
If you experience severe pain, significant swelling, redness, or fever, contact the clinic or seek assistance from your GP, emergency doctor, or the emergency department.
