ICSI Treatment

ICSI: A targeted approach to fertilization

ICSI: Advanced Fertilization For Optimal Success.

ICSI Treatment (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is an IVF procedure usually used in cases of male infertility. In this process, a single sperm is injected directly into the egg. In conventional IVF, the eggs and sperm are mixed in a container and fertilization then happens naturally. In this scenario, thousands of sperms attempt to fertilize a single egg.
If in the number of healthy sperms are limited or if there are other factors that prevent conventional IVF procedure, then ICSI may be used.
In ICSI treatment, a single sperm is collected using a hollow needle and then it is inserted into a single egg held in a pipette. The ability of the sperm to penetrate the egg is unimportant as this has been assisted by the ICSI technique. One then waits for fertilization to take place naturally. The fertilized egg is then transferred to the womb.

Benefits OF ICSI

ICSI is highly effective in cases of severe male infertility, such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape

By directly injecting sperm into the egg, ICSI bypasses many of the natural barriers to fertilization which increases the chances of successful fertilization

For couples facing specific fertility challenges, particularly those with male factor infertility, ICSI can significantly improve the chances of achieving a successful pregnancy.

ICSI is not limited to male infertility. It can also be used in cases where sperm is retrieved directly from the testicles or when previous IVF attempts have failed due to fertilization issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ICSI procedure is suitable in situations where the failure to conceive is primarily due to male infertility factors. These include low sperm counts, poor movement of sperms, poor sperm quality, or the lack of the ability of the sperm to penetrate the egg. This procedure is also suitable for those who suffer from azoospermia or the condition in which sperms are not present in the male’s ejaculation.

The ICSI procedure involves the following steps:
  • A single sperm is picked up using a hollow microneedle
  • The microneedle is then inserted into the cytoplasm of the egg
  • The sperm is injected into the cytoplasm and the microneedle is removed
  • The eggs are checked the following day to see if fertilization has occurred

The follow-up IVF procedure can be emotionally and physically demanding for the mother. This procedure is done on an outpatient basis and by itself is least demanding.

There is a risk of imprinting defects in babies born through this procedure. Imprinting defect refers to gene’s functioning differently depending on whether they were passed on by the father or the mother, however the evidence so far shows that the absolute risk is small. Apart from this is the usual risk associated with the follow-up IVF procedure.
