Icsi in India

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most popular treatment for 9 million couples worldwide affected by infertility. With methods and treatments being constantly revised, many who had not imagined it possible to move forward with treatment are now being offered a chance to become parents.

ICSI or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection is an elusive and demanding IVF procedure that offers couples with common male factor fertility issues a solution by injecting a single live sperm directly into the center of a human egg.

ICSI treatment continues to be embraced as a breakthrough in treating male fertility problems. There are specific steps during the ICSI procedure.

Your partner will receive injections of a fertility drug to stimulate her ovaries to develop several mature eggs for fertilization. The eggs are usually collected by vaginal ultrasound scan.

Sperm is collected from ejaculate or aspirate from the epididymis (PESA), testis (TESA or TESE), or frozen semen samples.

In ICSI all the steps are similar to the procedure of IVF in India, except the step of fertilization. Generally in IVF one egg is mixed with millions of sperm and a single sperm fertilizes the egg naturally. With ICSI each egg is detained and injected with a single live sperm. This micro-fertilization process is called micromanipulation.

ICSI in India employs micromanipulation with inverted microscopes that enable specialists to select and pick up individual sperm in a specially designed ICSI needle.

The needle is carefully advanced through the outer shell of the egg. The sperm is injected into the inner part of the egg. The ICSI procedure typically results in normal fertilization in about 50-85% of eggs injected with sperm.
